Summary: Statically linked utilities for initrd
Description:
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system. This version of BusyBox is configured for use in initrd images generated by the mkinitrd utility.

Feb. 8, 2007 Sergey Vlasov 1.3.2-alt1
- Updated to 1.3.2 bugfix release. - Removed obsolete fix patches. - Require dietlibc >= 0.30-alt3 for build due to the -fno-stack-protector fix in the diet wrapper. - Removed no longer needed -fno-stack-protector hack from spec file. - Reenabled parallel make. - Removed /lib/mkinitrd directory from package (now mkinitrd-initramfs owns it); require mkinitrd-initramfs before installation. - Removed conflicts with old mkinitrd versions (the dependency on mkinitrd-initramfs ensures that the mkinitrd package is new enough).
Jan. 21, 2007 Sergey Vlasov 1.3.0-alt2
- Moved files from /%_lib/mkinitrd to /lib/mkinitrd (avoids arch-dependent paths in mkinitrd). - Add conflicts with old mkinitrd versions which used /%_lib/mkinitrd.
Jan. 7, 2007 Sergey Vlasov 1.3.0-alt1
- Updated to 1.3.0 release. - Apply fix patches from http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.3.0/ . - Updated alt-insmod-allowable_licenses, alt-insmod-force_load patches. - Removed alt-mkinitrd-config patch (BUILDTIME is no longer used, CC can be set on the make command line instead). - Removed alt-compiler-fixes, alt-insmod-fix, syscalls, amd64-hack patches (obsolete). - Removed alt-raidautorun patch (raidautorun already included in 1.3.0) - Updated dietlibc support patch; require dietlibc >= 0.30. - Added alt-no-Werror patch: remove -Werror from compilation options (someone has inserted #warning into /usr/lib/dietlibc/include/byteswap.h). - Added alt-makefile patch: add BUSYBOX_LIBS variable to specify extra libraries to link with. - Added alt-dietlibc-loop patch: workaround for broken linux/loop.h file in dietlibc-0.30 (#10123). - Added alt-bb_pwd_grp patch: do not compile internal passwd/group access functions when they are not enabled in config. - Added alt-null-format patch: avoid passing NULL format strings to printf-like functions in verror_msg() (printf implementation in dietlibc segfaults on NULL format strings). - Build with -fno-stack-protector (dietlibc-0.30 does not support SSP). - Updated config: + enabled mknod and switch_root (needed for initramfs) + enabled sleep (#10018) - Fixed rpmbuild warnings due to broken '%' usage in old changelog entries. - Removed all %__* macro abuse from spec.
