[BusyBox] Working on "hush" extensions?

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hi,

is there any active development going on for the "hush" shell?

Besides the missing loop constructs, there are some bug or at least
"unexpected behaviour" in the way how quoting and variable
substitution work. For example:

	$ foo="bar;date"
	$ echo $foo
	bar
	Wed Oct 24 16:21:05 MEST 2001
	$ foo=bar ; foo="$foo baz" ; echo $foo
	bar
	Wed Oct 24 16:22:02 MEST 2001


We are in the process of integrating "hush" as  command  line  parser
into PPCBoot, our Open Source firmware for Embedded PowerPC systems.

I'd like to know if

(1) anybody is actually working on improvements for "hush", like
    adding loop support or fixing bugs

(2) if anybody is interested in patches and extensions

Regards,

Wolfgang Denk
