Hi Mike ! > If there's code bloat from parsing a simple config file, then > perhaps Busybox isn't well designed.
Same misunderstanding as Laszlo. It is not only parsing a simple config file. AFAIK libbb has functions to do this. The problem is, it makes no sense to blow up the BB binary size for only reading the peers address on daemon startup, without implementing that right and rereading/reconfiguring the running daemon when the configuration changes. And the code to handle this is more than trivial. In my eyes bloat to the binary - as other (simpler) changes to BB has bean neglected with the code size argument in the past. None of the mentioned changes improves operation of the current ntpd applet. Every parameter of ntpd can be given at the command line, reading the info from any (config) file is simple within scripts and does not increase BB binary size. So there would be extra BB code for no extra functionality, because there are a some people who don't get there calling scripts right (asking for extra binary code, for things simple to handle in scripting). Why don't you provide a script with common solution, we can add this to the contribution directory, for those who like to use it. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
