2004-07-30Fix up brain damage with the way major and minor are used toEric Andersen
create a dev_t
2004-07-26BusyBox has no business hard coding the number of major and minor bits for aEric Andersen
dev_t. This is especially important now that the user space concept of a dev_t and the kernel concept of a dev_t are divergant. The only bit of user space allowed to know the number of major and minor bits is include/sys/sysmacros.h (i.e. part of libc). When used with a current C library and a 2.6.x kernel, this fix should allow BusyBox to support wide device major/minor numbers. -Erik

1) a non NULL terminated buffer that can mess up output, spotted by Ian Latter 2) in miscutils/strings.c: get rid of useless pointer dereference in third part of for(;;), spotted by Larry Doolittle 3) bug when reading from a pipe and being invoked as strings "cat Readme | strings" is broken "cat Readme | busybox strings" works spotted by Ian Latter and fixed by Tito.

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

Hi to all, I discovered a little bug in hdparm.c (really two little bugs...I've made...sigh! Mea culpa). Some vars were modified only locally and this could lead to wrong results to be displayed with the -I switch and maybe with others. Attached is a patch that fix it ( +88b). Also attached is second patch that reduces the size a little bit: text data bss dec hex filename 27984 624 900 29508 7344 hdparm.o (without bug-fix) 28072 624 900 29596 739c hdparm.o (with bug-fix) 28141 624 900 29665 73e1 hdparm.o (original) but maybe this one can wait as we are in a feature freeze. Ciao, Tito

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?
