rpm: respect BB_SYSTEMROOT

2026-07-02T12:11:37+00:00

Update the 'rpm' applet so it also respects the BB_SYSTEMROOT environment variable. Replace chdir_system_drive() with xchdir_system_drive(), which exits on failure to change directory. Saves 32-36 bytes. (GitHub PR #603) Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

win32: Unix-like support for volume mounts

2026-06-15T11:42:54+00:00

Add code to distinguish between volume mount points and junctions. Volume mount points are to be treated like directries while junctions are like symlinks. Update the 'mntent' functions to scan drive letters first, then volume names and their associated mount points. By default the filesystem is returned as a drive letter, if possible, though the volume name is also returned. The function 'find_mount_point()' has been updated to use the new 'mntent' routines. Adds 772-803 bytes. Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

win32: extend handling of virtual disks

2026-06-08T13:02:15+00:00

Commit 62e4c5d29 (win32: special treatment for virtual hard disk) added special treatment for mount points associated with virtual hard disks. One statement made there was incorrect: a VHD without a drive letter containing no files *does* have a '.' directory. The error message for this case was misleading. The changes made to handle VHDs were insufficiently general: - lstat(2) only resolved symlinks for the explicit path '.'. It should also do so for paths of the form 'path/to/.'. - opendir(3) only generated entries for '.' and '..' directories when FindFirstFileA() failed for the path '.'. It should also do so for any path which resolves to a volume mount point. Make the necessary changes. Adds 64-80 bytes. (GitHub issue #597) Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston

win32: allow stat(2) to skip costly check for execute

2026-05-18T06:55:54+00:00

If 'ls' is invoked without the '-l' option (or something that's equivalent) and colour output isn't required, there's no need to perform the expensive check for execute permission. Allow 'ls' to inform stat(2) not to call has_exec_format(). This has been combined with the existing mechanism to enable counting subdirectories. With this change the command 'ls | wc -l' used in issue #589 doesn't perform the test which upset Windows' anti-malware thing. Adds 32-48 bytes. (GitHub issue #589)

win32: add FAST_FUNC annotations

2026-05-04T10:51:00+00:00

I've been far too lax in applying FAST_FUNC annotations. These can make function calls smaller and faster, but only on 32-bit systems and for non-static, non-variadic functions with non-void arguments. Saves 4680 bytes in the 32-bit build; 64-bit builds are unaffected.

crond: build tweaks

2026-05-03T09:52:29+00:00

Using 'depends on FEATURE_SYSLOG' is unreliable because FEATURE_SYSLOG can't be set directly. A POSIX build with all applets that need syslog disabled *except* crond may fail. Revert to using 'select FEATURE_SYSLOG' in crond and exclude the unused syslog code on Windows. If crond is unable to run sendmail report this in the error message. Update all default Windows configurations. (GitHub PR #561)

win32: improve urandom/zero device handling

2026-04-26T19:49:26+00:00

Rearrange the code to avoid a superfluous process creation. Saves 16 bytes in the 64-bit build, adds 24 in the 32-bit.

wget: allow HTTPS certificate check to be skipped

2026-04-24T07:43:59+00:00

The Microsoft Windows Schannel implementation of TLS validates the server certificate. Enable the --no-check-certificate option to wget to allow these checks to be skipped. This may be useful to connect to badly configured websites. Adds 202 bytes to the x86_64 build with Schannel enabled. (GitHub issue #581)

ash: allow 'times' built-in to report process timing

2026-04-12T10:49:29+00:00

Move existing code which obtains process execution times into a separate function. Use it to allow times(2) to report execution times for the current process, though not child execution times. Change TICKS_PER_SECOND from 100 to 1000 to increase the displayed resolution of process times (though the measured resolution may well be less than this). Adds 48-80 bytes. (GitHub issue #574)
