Updates to a number of apps to remove warnings/compile errors under libc5.

2000-06-19T17:25:40+00:00

Tested under both libc5 and libc6 and all seems well with these fixes. -Erik

Update to ar.c from Glenn McGrath. His comments follow:

------------------------------ the attached diff applies to the ar.c i originally submitted Changes Preserve dates now works. Extracted files are set to the uid, gid and mode specified in the archive. Checks for valid end of header marker. Correctly unpacks newer debian files. (has a '\n' character between entries) Added more comments. Cleaned up code. Added a last modified date to help keep track of versions. TODO Common functionality in ar.c are in tar.c should be merged, in particular getOctal and extractSubFile. Should all functions that are used by multiple file go in utilities.c ?

* Fixed a small bug that could cause tar to emit warning messages

and not extract the first file in a directory in some cases of nested directories. Thanks to Kevin Traas for helping track this one down. -Erik

A number of additional fixed from Pavel Roskin, note some more bugs in the

TODO list. Add Glenn to the Authors list for writing a mini ar for BusyBox, which is now included. -Erik

Fixed tar option parsing segfault, and make "tar xv" and "tar -xv"

2000-05-30T19:05:57+00:00

both work (i.e. it works with or w/o the "-"). -Erik

First pass at fixing tar segfault, and more portability updates.

2000-05-20T00:40:08+00:00

-Erik

More libc portability updates, add in the website (which has not been

archived previously). Wrote 'which' during the meeting today. -Erik

Lots of updates. Finished implementing BB_FEATURE_TRIVIAL_HELP

2000-05-12T19:41:47+00:00

which lets you compile out most of the "--help" output, saving up to 17k. Renamed mnc to nc. -Erik

* cp -fa now works as expected for symlinks (it didn't before)

2000-05-10T05:05:45+00:00

* zcat works again (wasn't working since option parsing was broken) * more doc updates/more support for BB_FEATURE_SIMPLE_HELP -Erik
