TODO – incompled todo list for Busybox

[walter harms]

Hi list,
i have collected to latest discussions about "what is missing in bb ?"
can someone with write access please add these list ?

btw: the webpage need some cleanup
* the "screenshot" is old
* the readme talks about 1.0 and svn

since the move from svn to git the whole svn stuff must be replaced
with git stuff.

re,

TODO – incompled todo list for Busybox

* shrink tc/brctl/ip

tc/brctl seem like fairly large things to try and tackle in your timeframe,
and i think people have posted attempts in the past.  adding additional
options to ip though seems reasonable.
* Add very needed tests for some applet.
* implement POSIX utilities and audit them for POSIX conformance.  then
audit them for GNU conformance.  then document all your findings in a new
doc/conformance.txt file while perhaps implementing some of the missing
features.
you can find the latest POSIX documentation (1003.1-2008) here:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

and the complete list of all utilities that POSIX covers:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/idx/utilities.html

The first step would to generate a file/matrix what is already archived (also IPV6)

* ntpdate, and ntpd
see: ntpclient and openntp for examples

* implement 'at':

* portmap or  equivalent
we don't have to use -o nolock on nfs mounts

* add an ftpd

ftpput/get is already there

*check IPV6 compliance and document

*generate a mini example using kernel+busybox only (+libc) for example
