so, in slightly different form to the roadmap and with more detail, here's the current status for remaining stuff to do...
dd -- i don't have any known problems, but i'm assuming it'll get rewritten when it moves out of pending, so i wanted to wait until the dust settled. if you think the rewrite is sufficiently far out to make this a bad plan, let me know and i'll write patches for some of the feature requests i have pending (stuff that isn't in the BSD dd either). getevent/sendevent -- getevent/sendevent look like the obvious next thing for me to look at, but i wondered what you want to do about https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core.git/+/master/toolbox/generate-input.h-labels.py --- at the moment we take bionic's current uapi input headers at build time and generate a bunch of arrays that let us translate back and forth between codes and strings. i don't relish the prospect of manually maintaining 1000 lines of constants in toybox. (maintaining these large lists of kernel constants is the real problem with strace, not the actual syscall interception!) grep -- toybox missing --color, but as long as the point where this is the only thing left i might just switch us over anyway. until then, this isn't hurting anyone. newfs_msdos -- this seems the most likely candidate to still be around in O. reboot -- not obvious to me that i can write this without new infrastructure or making a big mess of #if __ANDROID__ inside reboot.c? -- as an aside for anyone wondering, there's no good reason this isn't in toolbox right now. there *used* to be, back when reboot actually did the work and required capabilities, but when it was rewritten to just forward to init, no one merged it back into toolbox. -- Elliott Hughes - http://who/enh - http://jessies.org/~enh/ Android native code/tools questions?
