userland: 268 applets, an editor, names that resolve, and a web server
Four complaints, and only one of them was the thing it looked like. **"toybox is too small."** Half true, and the fix cost no licensing at all: 236 of toybox's applets are what defconfig builds, and the rest live in toys/pending/ -- awk, bc, diff, more, expr, tr, hexdump, stty among them. Same 0BSD tarball, switched off by a config default. 26 of them are on now, 236 -> 268. Not everything: strace wants ptrace, syslogd wants BSD's facilitynames[], git wants OpenSSL, and those three break the link. The toybox build also works again on this machine. Its scripts start #!/bin/bash, which does not exist on NixOS, so the binary in the tree was one nobody could reproduce; the shebangs are rewritten to /usr/bin/env bash on the way in. Pending applets are enabled by editing .config directly, because `make oldconfig` is the obvious way and undoes it -- every pending symbol is `default n`. **BusyBox was asked for and is not here.** It is GPL-2.0-only, and `make ramroot` links the root image *into the kernel binary*, so it would put GPLv2 inside an Apache-2.0 executable -- which is the exact case ports/Makefile's NOTPORTS filter and docs/licensing.md §4 exist for. nano is the same answer one version later. Both recorded in licensing.md with what was done instead, since "no" without an alternative is how a rule gets quietly broken later. **An editor that is not vi.** kilo, BSD-2-Clause, one 1300-line file, no dependencies beyond termios and TIOCGWINSZ, both of which zsh already needed. Installed as /bin/edit as well as /bin/kilo, because somebody with a file to fix will type `edit`. **"wget doesn't work."** Not a userland problem, and BusyBox's wget would have failed identically: nothing on this system could turn a name into an address, so every program taking a hostname failed in its own way and each looked like a separate bug. There is still no DNS client in SchOS and there does not need to be -- musl has a complete resolver and it works over ordinary UDP sockets. The one missing fact was which nameserver, which the kernel has had all along from DHCP and never published. /proc/resolv.conf publishes it in resolv.conf's exact syntax; cmd/resolvconf decides whether it becomes /etc/resolv.conf, and will not overwrite a hand-written one without -f. # wget -O - http://example.com/ | head -1 <!doctype html><html lang="en"><head><title>Example Domain</title> **Something to host with.** cmd/httpd: GET and HEAD, static files, index.html for a directory and a listing otherwise, a child per connection. No CGI, no keep-alive, no TLS, no config file. The path check is the only security-relevant code in it and it refuses rather than normalises -- no component may be `..`, and percent-decoding happens first, because %2e%2e is `..` and a check before decoding does not see it. Both forms answer 403. And the disk is 100 MB, from 32. It is sparse, so the image is 21 MB on the host. RAMDISK_BLOCKS went 6000 -> 8000 with it: the ramdisk was at 86% and the next thing added would have broken `make ramroot`, which nobody would have noticed until they used it.
