Hi Jan,
Thank you for your work, I really appreciate your reactivity.
You are right, I didn't create task for ps command as it is not provided
by coreutils. ( the current toybox build configuration deactivates ps
generation )
Also, there is no task for the cp command yet since the work to do on
that last command is double and it needs to be shared with the community
before doing so :
- Currently on toybox, the cp command does not provide a --preserve
option that takes into account the security context and/or extented
attributes (just like coreutils does).
This has to be added in toybox the same way you have done with the other
command, and I will create a task for this today.
- But, a specific cp -Z option is provided on coreutils upstream branch
which is *not* on the tizen branch.
-> My proposal would be to add this missing option to the toybox cp
command, so that we could preserve *or* force a security context while
copying files.
I will then see to what extent our patches could be pushed upstream once
all done, so you don't have to take care of this.
Best regards,

Hi Xavier,
All patches for id, ls , mkdir, mkfifo and mknod are merged now.
I did not do anything about cp and ps , because there was no task on
Tizen Jirra for them assigned to me.
Should I take care of them also, if so, please make tasks for me, to
make matter clear.
Also, I would like to ask about moving those patches to upstream (git
hub), should I take care of that or will it be done by someone else?
Best regards,
Jan Cybulski.

Hello Jan,
You can work with the platform/upstream/toybox repository (see :
https://review.tizen.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/platform/upstream/toybox
)
The list provided in the wiki ( here
<https://docs.google.com/a/open.eurogiciel.org/spreadsheets/d/18rlIp9daltyXiiYTO2sunZoXtohUEaKAKAyoSCO8gf0/edit#gid=0>
) is up to date.
Basically, the security-related functionalities to add only concern
the following:
- cp
- id
- ls
- mkdir
- mkfifo
- mknod
- ps
I will create Jira issues on these tasks, with a detailed description
for each cases...
However, Gerrit seems not to work properly today... I'm not sure you
could clone the toybox repository at the moment.
Feel free to contact me if any questions!
Best regards,

Hello, Dominique and Xavier,
I am Tizen developer in Samsung Electronics,
I got a task from Tomasz Swierczek to add smack aware code to ToyBox.
He gave me contact to You as people in charge for this on Intel side.
I would like to start working on this and ask which repository
should I work with, and what is the required schedule for this task?
Aslo : Is wiki site for this up to date?
(https://wiki.tizen.org/wiki/Toybox) Especially I mean the list of
toys that are still to be changed by adding security-related
functionalities. I would like to avoid duplication if some work is
done already or is performed right now.
Best regards,
Jan Cybulski
