Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.

Here is a patch that adds egrep -L support (the opposite of egrep -l).
I realize this is probably too late for 1.0. But I offer it for your
future consideration.
egrep -L is used in some networking startup scripts I inherited.

This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!
- Larry

the busybox menuconfig triggered my "inacceptable number of spelling mistakes"
upper level, so I decided to make a patch ;-)
I also improved some wording to describe some things in a better way.
Many thanks for an incredible piece of software!

Use defines for the different options

Hello all,
This patch adds more "Help" text to the config system. Almost
all applets now have a help entry. Also, I cleaned up the spacing of
the existing text so that things are consistent. This patch is against
this morning's CVS.

The attached two patches add config documentation to init/Config.in and
fileutils/Config.in.

Manuel,
I rewrite bb_getopt_ulflags() function for more universal usage.
My version support now:
- options with arguments (optional arg as GNU extension also)
- complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list
options
- long_opt (all applets may have long option, add supporting is trivial)
This realisation full compatibile from your version.
Code size grow 480 bytes, but only coreutils/* over compensate this size
after using new function. Last patch reduced over 800 bytes and not full
applied to all. "mkdir" and "mv" applets have long_opt now for demonstrate
trivial addition support long_opt with usage new bb_getopt_ulflags().
Complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list options
logic is not trivial, but new "cut" and "grep" applets using this logic
for examples with full demostrating. New "grep" applet reduced over 300
bytes.
Mark,
Also. I removed bug from "grep" applet.

Apply patch from Ghozlane Toumi to make find smaller by combining
similar error messages
Forward port find -newer support from busybox stable that was
missing from unstable. -Erik.
Fixup usage messages for find. -Erik

modified Kbuild system I put into uClibc. With this, there should be no more
need to modify Rules.mak since I've moved all the interesting options into the
config system. I think I've got everything updated, but you never know, I may
have made some mistakes, so watch closely.

I found overflow problem in xargs applet
(allocated not space for trailing '\0').
Last patch also reduce 22 bytes size. ;)

not on arm)

the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO...
