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 we _might_ get
|
||||
around to it some time. If you have any good ideas, please send them
|
||||
on in...

-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Possible apps to include some time:
|
||||
|
||||
* group/commonize strings, remove dups (for i18n, l10n)
|
||||
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
With sysvinit, reboot, poweroff and halt all used a named pipe,
|
||||
/dev/initctl, to communicate with the init process. Busybox
|
||||
currently uses signals to communicate with init. This makes
|
||||
busybox incompatible with sysvinit. We should probably use
|
||||
a named pipe as well so we can be compatible.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Run the following:
|
||||
|
||||
rm -f busybox && make LDFLAGS+=-nostdlib 2>&1 | \
|
||||
sed -ne 's/.*undefined reference to `\(.*\)..*/\1/gp' | sort | uniq
|
||||
|
||||
reveals the list of all external (i.e., libc) things that BusyBox depends on.
|
||||
It would be a very nice thing to reduce this list to an absolute minimum, to
|
||||
reduce the footprint of busybox, especially when staticly linking with
|
||||
libraries such as uClibc.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Compile with debugging on, run 'nm --size-sort ./busybox'
|
||||
and then start with the biggest things and make them smaller...
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
xargs could use a -l option
|
||||
|
||||
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
libbb/unzip.c and archival/gzip.c have common constant static arrays and
|
||||
code for initializing the CRC array. Both use CRC-32 and could use
|
||||
common code for CRC calculation. Within archival/gzip.c, the CRC
|
||||
array should be malloc-ed as it is in libbb/unzip.c .
