| 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. |

| ----------- |

| * Allow tar to create archives with sockets, devices, and other special files |
| * Make insmod actually work |
| * dnsdomainname |
| * traceroute/netstat |
| * rdate |
| * hwclock |
| * killall |
| * stty |

| #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? |
