Last I checked, there are 3.14159269 zillions of desktop users. Don't know about you, but I think whenever some of them install busybox on their machine it is a win for the project. Our ls has -S option. It is not in the POSIX. Why do we have it? Most of users don't really care what the gnu tools do, after all. Really? Maybe we need to put a huge banner on busybox.net: "We don't care about you, desktop (and server) idiots, and if your script breaks because we did not impoment GNU-specific -x for the command xyz, don't even think about sending us patches", it will be even more effective in alienating a huge potential user base than emails on some mailing list. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
