Here's a follow-up replacement to the patch I sent earlier, this adjusts some
of the semantics of the dynamic variable setting. Namely, dynamic vars can hook
a set handler (which RANDOM uses to adjust the seed). They'll only lose their
dynamic status if they're unset.
I've used the same approach that bash does to come up with the random number,
mostly just for consistency.
For example:
$ echo $RANDOM
13759
$ echo $RANDOM
20057
$ echo $RANDOM
1502
$ export RANDOM=42
$ echo $RANDOM
24179
$ echo $RANDOM
2046
$ unset RANDOM
$ echo $RANDOM
$ export RANDOM=42
$ echo $RANDOM
42

- declare applet_using as static from applets.c
- small correction to cmdedit,
previous version cleared history after Ctrl-C
- small spelling correction (by Friedrich Lobenstock)

Thanks. Patch attached.

- synced with dash 0.4.21
- better handle trap "cmds..." SIGINT (strange, i make bad hack for ash
and cmdedit, but this work only with this...)
- may be haven`t problem with Ctrl-D
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!

The construct certain vintages of GCC (the one I have trouble
with is 3.2.3) have trouble with looks like the following:
static struct st a;
static struct st *p = &a;
struct st { int foo; };
static void init(void) { a.foo = 0; }
The problem disappears if we move the struct declaration up to
let the compiler know the shape of the struct before the first
definition uses it, like this:
struct st { int foo; }; /* this has been moved up */
static struct st a;
static struct st *p = &a;
static void init(void) { a.foo = 0; }
"If the shell is compiled with -DJOBS, this is all fine -- find wasn't
stopped (it was killed), so it correctly uses WTERMSIG instead of WSTOPSIG.
However, if the shell _isn't_ compiled with -DJOBS (which it isn't in d-i),
only WSTOPSIG is used, which extracts the high byte instead of the low
byte from the status code. Since the status code is 13 (SIGPIPE), "st"
suddenly gets the value 0, which is equivalent to SIGEXIT. Thus, ash prints
out "EXIT" on find's exit."
unless it had #!/bin/sh in the first line
"It correctly locates the script, tries to execute it via execve which
fails. After that it tries to hand it over to /bin/sh which fails too,
since ash
- neither provides the absolute pathname to /bin/sh
- nor tries to lookup the script via PATH if called as "sh script"
"
Last patch have synced form Manuel Nova III xxreadtoken() function,
corrected (C) form dash debian/copyright, removed my small mistake
with IFS_BROKEN (thanks by Herbert), and synced cmdedit.c from
current CVS (removed libc5 support, your email correction, my (C) year
corertion).
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.

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.

config system
- added a new config option to allow persistant history lists. This is
currently only used by ash, but the calls ({load,save}_history) could
be added to the other shells as well.
HP iPAQ. Sometimes we get a SIGWINCH and want to print the prompt, although
the prompt is not yet initialised (0) .. so just don't print a prompt
as long as the prompt string is 0
#49: I found one memory overflow and memory leak in "ln" applet.
Last patch reduced also 54 bytes. ;)
#50: I found bug in loginutils/Makefile.in.
New patch have also new function to libbb and
aplied this to applets and other cosmetic changes.
When alias support is not configured, ash believes that command parameters
that look like dd's "if=/dev/zero" are requests to set a temporary
environment variable whilst dd is running, even though it appears after the
command name. This is caused by the re-use of the checkalias global variable
to indicate when both alias checking and environment variable checking. The
failure to reset this flag is due to the reset action being performed only
inside the feature check CHECK_ASH_ALIAS. Hence ash works as expected when
aliases are configured in, and fails when not.
Example script using 'date' with different settings of TZ:
# TZ=Europe/London
# export TZ
# date
Thu May 30 17:18:49 BST 2002
# TZ=America/New_York date
Thu May 30 12:19:10 EDT 2002
# date
Thu May 30 17:19:12 BST 2002
# date TZ=America/New_York
Thu May 30 12:19:30 EDT 2002 <----- wrong, should be BST time (or error!)
# date
Thu May 30 17:19:35 BST 2002
Attached is a patch against revision 1.52 of ash.c which moves the checks so
that checkalias is updated regardless of whether CONFIG_ASH_ALIAS is set.
With this patch applied, the command shown above which should generate an
error does generate an error.
I have tested this patch with the 'dd' command too and that now works
correctly.
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...
