Thank you for writing busybox! I am making great use of it in my
distribution. I offer the following bugs and wishes for busybox 0.47:
sed - doesn't support enough features so that I can use it when
compiling GNU sed. This is a pity.
env - env is available when running the busybox shell, but not
otherwise. Please can this be made into a normal command as well. I want to use it to find programs on the path - as in:
#! /bin/env perl
.... perl script ....
sh - it should be possible to set variables without having to use the
"export" keyword.
sh - it would be useful if the busybox sh could be invoked under a
different name (eg bush). That way I can change /bin/sh to /bin/bash
during the install, but still keep an busybox shell around as a backup
and for special busybox scripts that carefully only use busybox
features and syntax.
ifconfig - there are lots of nice network tools, but no ifconfig!
Please can we have one.
