Chmod used to incorrectly report as changed even files for which the

number.

When printf has just single %s argument, it can be replaced with fputs,
which is faster. One could hope that compiler would optimize that, but
there is no reason not to use the fputs directly.

Hello,
I'm sending this patch once more after more then 3 months, seems like
the previous one was overlooked. Would appreciate any feedback so I can
make necessary changes to get this merged.
I think the bug is very unpleasant surprise and would be nice to have it
fixed.
Have a nice day,

Hello,
while implementing whitelist mechanism in my shell scripting, I've
noticed an inconsistency between busybox's grep and GNU grep. They
handle -xf EMPTY_FILE flags differently when EMPTY_FILE is well...

GNU grep in that case handles it as if /.*/ pattern was provided, while

Hello,
I would like to ask what is correct way to push forward patch in the

it to the bug report it fixes. And after 3 months I still did not hear

It would be nice to at least get some kind of reaction. If the patch

Hello Busybox,
Here is the situation:
1. I have an embedded system, it is called KB-9202B (made by KwikByte).
2. Apparently it has got busybox installed (but I am not 100% sure).
3. I can connect my PC to it (using serial cable RS-232C) and I can talk to
it in "Linux".
4. I can also tran
