2005-09-07This code exists to compensate for ancient broken build environments which,Rob Landley
as far as I can tell, are no longer relevant. Modern busybox refuses to build under libc5 (there's a specific test and #error for that), and I'm not sure building against 2.1 kernel headers on Alpha was ever relevant. I'm happy to put any of this back if anybody can point to a real need for it, but if so we need to specifically document what environment is being compensated for. (And we should quarrantine the build environment code into one place, anyway. Maybe "quirks.h" for known compiler and libc quirks?)

newline, or lines that have trailing spaces.
2005-09-01Bernhard Fischer suggested that get_terminal_width_height() should returnRob Landley
the result of the ioctl so callers can tell if we have a tty. (0 means we have a tty, nonzero means the ioctl couldn't find size info and we fake 80x24. Really we should fake 80x25, but oh well...)

2005-08-10Major rewrite of mount, umount, losetup. Untangled lots of code, shrunkRob Landley
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts, automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on). Probably broke several other things, but it's fixable. (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for you...) Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when necessary. Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet... The previous code had the following notes, that belong in the version control comments: - * 3/21/1999 Charles P. Wright <cpwright@cpwright.com> - * searches through fstab when -a is passed - * will try mounting stuff with all fses when passed -t auto - * - * 1999-04-17 Dave Cinege...Rewrote -t auto. Fixed ro mtab. - * - * 1999-10-07 Erik Andersen <andersen@codepoet.org>. - * Rewrite of a lot of code. Removed mtab usage (I plan on - * putting it back as a compile-time option some time), - * major adjustments to option parsing, and some serious - * dieting all around. - * - * 1999-11-06 mtab support is back - andersee - * - * 2000-01-12 Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>, Borrowed utils-linux's - * mount to add loop support. - * - * 2000-04-30 Dave Cinege <dcinege@psychosis.com> - * Rewrote fstab while loop and lower mount section.

BTW: I've ripped out a lot of debug code and changed c++ // comments to /* */ as both were rather confusing for a newbie like me. ;-) Sorry to the author for that. I know that this makes mantaining the code easier, but I'm simple minded....

This is a first attempt to improve the comments of getopt_ulflags.c. Maybe under some aspects the text could be refined, but so far it is already usable and should help people who "avoided getopt_ulflags as the pest" to understand how it works. This patch was created with the help of Vodz, the author of the code, who explained me patiently how getopt_ulflags works and with the help of Paul Fox, who corrected my broken english. So thanks and merits should go to them also.

2005-01-04Dear andersen:Eric Andersen
Is the change on libbb/loop.c which you commited in 2005/1/3 effective really? The __GLIBC__ macro and __UCLIBC__ macro are defined in feature.h in glibc source, so the change may not be effective. If you want to check this with __GLIBC__, feature.h header is needed. Some architectures(e.g. PPC series) need to include linux/posix_types.h in stead of asm/posix_types.h, so the patch which is attached with this mail include <linux/posix_types.h>.

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. egor
2004-10-08Patch from Michael Tokarev:Eric Andersen
Scenario: touch x -- creates plain file name `x' mkdir x -- exits successefully libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains the following code: if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) { /* If we failed for any other reason than the directory * already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/ if (errno != EEXIST) { fail_msg = "create"; umask(mask); break; } /* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change * permissions if it was the full target. Note that * this is not an error conditon. */ if (!c) { umask(mask); return 0; } } The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory* already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause this error to be returned. Proper way IMHO will be is to stat() the path and check whenever this is really a directory. Below (attached) is a patch to fix this issue.
