Seriously though, read the Changelog for busybox 0.42, which this is about to become... -Erik

TODO list for busybox in no particular order. Just because something
|
|
is listed here doesn't mean that it is going to be added to busybox,
|
|
or that doing so is even a good idea. It just means that I _might_ get
|
|
around to it some time. If you have any good ideas, please let me know.
|
|
|
|
* login/sulogin/passwd/getty/etc are part of tinylogin, and so are not
|
|
needed or wanted in busybox (or else I'd have to link in libcrypt).
|
|
|
|
* Networking apps are probably going to be split out some time soon into a
|
|
separate package (named perhaps tiny-netkit?). This currently includes
|
|
hostid, hostname, mnc, and ping.

|
|

|
|
* dnsdomainname
|
|
* traceroute/nslookup/netstat
|
|
* rdate
|
|
* hwclock
|
|
* killall

#1 You are storing by id instead of name like normal tar. Did you realize this?
|
|
(or am I missing some compile option? )ctar did not do this, and I don't think
|
|
it's a good idea for LRP.
|
|
|
|
#2
|
|
ctar did not produce the EOF error like your tar does. I believe you need to
|
|
pad the end of the archive with at least 2 tarsized (512byte) blocks. (I
|
|
think???)
|
|
|
|
#3
|
|
There is no exclude file(s) option to tar. LRP's packaging system can not
|
|
function without this. Will you have the time to add this soon?
