"I have a need to _really_ know if the interface was properly configured
via ifup so I made busybox's ifupdown pass the return codes through rather
than dropping them on the floor."
"All the functions in ifupdown.c return 1 on success and 0 on failure
(which happens to the opposite of standard practices but whatever).
So it is important for all these functions to not blindly return 1."
"The problem with blindly returning ret, even if it is != 1, is the
callers expect a 0 or 1 and accumulate the return codes. So a function that
makes 3 calls to execute will have a value of 3 accumulated. That value
of 1 (success) was almost always returned even if 1 of the commands in the
command sequence failed. The attached patch fixes the lack of checking
to verify thar result == expected_reult."

Hi,
There was some problem with busybox modprobe. For details see
http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2004-May/011507.html
I made a patch against busybox-1.00-pre10 to fix that one.
This is a slight variant of Patrick's patch with a slightly
cleaner implementation of mod_strcmp()

Hi,
Package: BusyBox
Version: 1.0.0-pre10
When an incomplete read or write from/to a local file occurs (i.e.
not an EOF condition), the tftp client prematurely exits. This
problem can be reproduced by slowly piping data to the tftp client
like this:
(for v in 1 2 3; do echo $v; sleep 1; done) | \
tftp -p -l - -r output.txt <host>
The output file on the TFTP server will contain "1".
The attached patch provides a possible solution to this problem.
I can reproduce this on ARM sa1110 and ARM xscale boards, both
running Linux-2.6.4 & glibc-2.3.2. Thanks for the wonderful
program!

Hi folks
The following patch adds a new log message output to syslogd. This
output omits hostname and priority and is used in d-i to make the syslog
output better readable without lossing information.
Bastian
I am applying this since I have syslogd hacked up in my wife's
access point with the same format string.... Might as well make
this hack official.

Updated patch: get rid of syslog_msg entirely. Request from Erik Andersen.

Version: 1.0.0-pre10
Passing the -q <integer> option to inetd causes it to dereference an
invalid pointer (optarg). The attached patch provides a fix to this
problem.

The updated patch adds a config option to explicitely enable 64 bit
arithmetic.
Also it removes the arith prototype from libbb.h as it is not used
outside of ash.
Bastian
this patch has been slightly modified by Erik for cleanliness.
test it before checking in..." New entry for famous last words list.)
Add the missing backslash at the end of the new sed doc string line.
(This one actually compiled with "show verbose applet usage messages"...)
