Hi to all, here is a new patch for bb's devfsd. The news are: 1) Size reduction for the basic setup with no options compiled in from : text data bss dec hex filename 10591 392 543 11526 2d06 devfsd.o rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18536 Dec 18 21:52 devfsd.o to: text data bss dec hex filename 9303 392 543 10238 27fe devfsd.o rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16528 Dec 18 22:02 devfsd.o With this setup you should not expect much output from devfsd ( just at start or with -v) and if some error occurs it only exits 1. To have more output enable: " Increases logging (and size)" (+1568 b). 2) The option "Adds function names to program output" was removed from config menu and now to enable debug output you can use bb's standard option: "Build BusyBox with Debugging symbols". Be careful as with this option enabled a lot of data are outputted to /dev/log and/or to stderr. 3) A new option: "Enables the -fg and -np option" was added to config menu (+128 b). BTW: option "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf" adds 268 b. 4) The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported: "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE", "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE", "MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT". But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!! 5)Help text in usage.h was modified. 6)Something that I have forgotten.......... I've tested this for the last week on my box and it seems to work as expected. Thanks in advance and please apply. Ciao, Tito

Dear list, during my quest do pack busybox into an RPM, I've fixed a small bug (missing \n) in dc's usage. And added two additional operations: mod and exp/power. Feel free to drop them.

Your patch is not correct. Correct patch attached. Also. Last patch have - add "Broken pipe" message to ash.c - busybox ash synced with dash_0.4.18 --w vodz

Hi to all, I'm sorry but I didn't spot this big fat bug until now, Matteo Croce emailed me about it. Please apply this patch as the devfsd applet is broken and works only on a system booted with a standard devfsd ( the test I mostly did :-( ), but if used at boot time it DOESN'T WORK. Thanks in advance and please apply Tito

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! Andreas Mohr, random OSS developer

2003-08-06Patch from Steven Scholz:Eric Andersen
should we rename the define into CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_DMA and use it for "set" and "get" ??? Since although CONFIG_FEATURE_HDPARM_HDIO_GET_DMA is _not_ set I still can use "hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda" to switch the DMA on. Is this desireable or meant to be like that? So how about the applied patch?

Here's a bunch of fixes for the watchdog app in busybox. This does a couple of things: - configurable timer duration (userspace timer duration is usually configurable within the device drivers themselves). - run as a daemon - shutdown the device properly on SIGINT or SIGHUP - clear the counter immediately instead of sleeping first as well as updating the usage information. This has also been switched over to getopt to deal with the optional timer duration specifier. The changes themselves are harmless and isolated, and I've veried that this works on sh and x86 without any problems.

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. Thomas Cameron CEI Systems, Inc.

Busybox vi is installed in /bin/vi, but crontab was looking for /usr/bin/vi. This patch makes crontab look for /bin/vi instead.

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. $ echo a b | busybox grep -e a b a b a b But right is printing one only. --w vodz
