Source: busybox-cvs Priority: optional Maintainer: Debian Install System Team Uploaders: Erik Andersen , Bastian Blank , Tollef Fog Heen Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 2.1.18) Standards-Version: 3.5.7.0 Package: busybox-cvs Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Conflicts: busybox-cvs-static, busybox, busybox-static Replaces: busybox-cvs-static, busybox, busybox-static Section: utils Description: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, 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. . This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install symlinks for any of the supported utilities. You can use /bin/busybox --install to install BusyBox to the current directory (you do not want to do this in / on your Debian system!). Package: busybox-cvs-static Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Conflicts: busybox-cvs, busybox-static, busybox Replaces: busybox-cvs, busybox-static, busybox Section: shells Description: Standalone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, 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-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the available builtin commands. Package: busybox-cvs-udeb Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Section: debian-installer Conflicts: busybox-udeb Priority: extra Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, 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-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned.
