Thanks, Shivakumar. You have seconds. I'll contact you offline to get you set up.

Project proposal : busybox-ksh93 Busybox on OpenSolaris is about providing a busybox equivalent for OpenSolaris. This will help in making possible small sized distros and distros(exp LiveCD) with better bootup time and run-time performance. This should also be useful in the appliance domain. The project would have 2 outputs: 1. Shell integration of stand-alone commands in a modular manner. ksh93 will be the shell of choice for the same. 2. All the identified commands housed in a stand alone executable. ksh93 design would be reused here (by providing a wrapper around libcmd) The set of built-in commands will be configurable. The set of commands that will be made as the default integration set will be identified based on commands frequently used in the startup and smf scripts of solaris distros. The modularity of the setup will ensure addition/removal of commands is possible at buildtime. The project would use the code-base of ON. Where multiple command sources are present (ex: /usr/bin,/usr/xpg4/bin,etc), the project would choose the source code base that is most standards compliant and aware of multibyte characters. A related piece of work has been done for the belenix project(sh integration) and code has been contributed to belenix. This will become available with the belenix release that is scheduled for this month(April-2007). Future possibilities not considered in the current scope include : 1. Optimizing libc for size and resources, generating customized libc with reduced functionality. 2. Ability to customize the set of features included in the commands in the interest of minimization. The initial leaders of this project would be: Moinak Ghosh Roland Mainz Shivakumar GN This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
