It seems that date -s MMDDHHMMYYYY.ss will ignore the .ss part. This patch tries to fix the problem. David Daney.

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. egor

"This patch fixes all the bugs in id previously spotted by vodz and me. The binary size increased a bit, but now it should work as expected."

Patch by Felipe Kellermann, use the common escape handling function and remove some unused code.

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.......).

Fixup some warnings

Hi, I've fixed also the issue of whoami cutting down usernames. This time I cannot send a diff because i don't know if my previous patches will be applied or not, so I send in the whole file. The changes I've made don't affect size but ensure that usernames of whatever lenght are correctly displayed. root@localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox/coreutils# size whoami_orig.o text data bss dec hex filename 102 0 0 102 66 whoami_orig.o root@localhost:/dev/pts/3:/root/Desktop/busybox/coreutils# size whoami.o text data bss dec hex filename 93 0 0 93 5d whoami.o This should be applied even if the other patches aren't as this matches the behaviour of the GNU whoami. Thanks in advance, Ciao, Tito
