Will lua add to the size of Oxygen or will it justify itself nicely (and
reduce size)? I think the later.
Mike and David must be drinking Red Bull or something. The LEAF list moves
so quickly. :-)
Here is tomsrtbt change log detailing lua additions and some busybox
relate items and changes. I have cut a few lines out:
"
1.7.243 replace mawk with Lua, replace all awks with luas, add basename,
fix filesize, replace /bin/login sh/awk with /usr/bin/login lua,
cmp in lua, dhcpcd replaced with dhcpcd-- in Lua, do pcmcia start
and eval `dhcpcd--` in rc.custom.gz
1.7.270 del mklost+found, buildit changes, lua startup changes, license
1.7.289 add zcat yes xargs which wget usleep true syslogd klogd
nslookup lsmod logger loadkmap killall gunzip egrep [
due to new busybox.
Remove snarf, several luas, loadkeys
replace telnet and ifconfig and route and cmp and wc maybe
others.
add many more keymaps
1.7.333 remove 'regex' and 'iregex' from gnu-find
1.7.335 newer busybox, maybe less bugs. Password now md5-hashed.
1.7.35x replace basename dirname false pwd sleep sync tee true yes chroot
date
dmesg mkdir ln wc df ps hostname lsmod mv rmdir rmmod swapon
swapoff
dmesg mkdir ln wc df ps hostname lsmod mv rmdir rmmod swapon
swapoff
touch update with equivalent (I hope) asmutils. Add sln poweroff
strings domainname. Remove memtest, not trustworthy enough on
enough
hardware to justify the space. Remove stty, add 'necho' and
'yecho'
to turn tty echo off and on.
1.7.35x busybox fixes and stabilizations.
12) ToDo
There is a lot of stuff now that is amenable to Lua.
Also, the new Luas need to be cleaned up a lot.
As well as, the lua manpage needs more work.
