  • + 3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net! + +

    Thanks to the generosity of a number of busybox + users, we have been able to purchase busybox.net + (which is where you are probably reading this). + Right now, busybox.net and uclibc.org are both + living on my home system (at the end of my DSL + line). I apologize for the abrupt move off of + busybox.lineo.com. Unfortunately, I no longer have + the access needed to keep that system updated (for + example, you might notice the daily snapshots there + stopped some time ago).

    + +

    Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home + server, at the end of a DSL line. Unfortunately, + the load on them is quite heavy. To address this, + I'm trying to make arrangements to get busybox.net + co-located directly at an ISP. To assist in the + co-location effort, Mark Whitley + (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated + his NetWinder computer + for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this + system is co-located, the current speed problems + should be completely eliminated. Hopefully, too, + some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror + sites, to help to distribute the load a bit.

    + +

    + Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox + donations, let me assure you that no one is getting + rich here. All BusyBox and uClibc donations will be + spent paying for bandwidth and needed hardware + upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently + has just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when + google spidered the site the other day, 64 Megs in + not enough, so I'm going to be ordering 256Megs of + ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So + far, donations received have been sufficient to + cover almost all expenses. In the future, we may + have co-location fees to worry about, but for now + we are ok. A HUGE thank-you goes out to + everyone that has contributed!

  • + 20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released + +

    We am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox + 0.60.2 (stable) is now released to the world. This + one is primarily a bugfix release for the stable + series, and it should take care of most everyone's + needs till we can get the nice new stuff we have + been working on in CVS ready to release (with the + wonderful new buildsystem). The biggest change in + this release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh + (the minix shell) has been re-worked by Vladimir N. + Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when + told to do complex things with backticks.

    + +

    This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and + powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so it + should work with just about any Linux system you + throw it at. See the changelog for most + of the details. The last release was + very solid for people, and this one should + be even better.

    + +

    As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from + http://www.busybox.net/downloads.

    + +

    Have Fun.
    + -Erik
