things like xasprintf() into xfuncs.c, remove xprint_file_by_name() (it only
had one user), clean up lots of #includes... General cleanup pass. What I've
been doing for the last couple days.
And it conflicts! I've removed httpd.c from this checkin due to somebody else
touching that file. It builds for me. I have to catch a bus. (Now you know
why I'm looking forward to Mercurial.)
moved the contents of libbb/bb_echo.c back into coreutils/echo.c,
which is a more reasonable place for them than libbb. this
forces anyone who wants echo and test to be builtin to ash to
also have them available as applets. their cost is very small,
and the number of people who wouldn't want them as applets is
also very small.
added warning about shell builtins vs. CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL,
which conflicts with their use.
thanks to nathanael copa for debugging help.
some string size optimization in test.c may have been lost with
this commit, but this is a good new baseline.
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?)
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.

Hi Erik,
Hi to all,
This is part five of the my_get*id story.
I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible,
but this changes will not affect existing code.
Now they work so:
1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL
on success username is written on static allocated buffer
on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL
on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer
on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet.
It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id
and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length.
BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes)
with the pending patch in patches/id_groups_alias.patch.
The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c
from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations
made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c.
I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough
(at least I hope so.......).

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