BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
|
||||
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities
|
||||
you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip,
|
||||
tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or
|
||||
embedded system. 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.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind.
|
||||
It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
|
||||
features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded
|
||||
systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, /etc, and a kernel.

||||

<li> <b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
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, <a
|
||||
href="http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> (author of
|
||||
busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated his <a
|
||||
href="http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> 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 <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to everyone that has
|
||||
contributed!

<li> <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
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 <a href="http://www.busybox.net/downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>
|
||||
for <small>most of</small> the details. The last release was
|
||||
<em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should be even better.
|
||||

||||

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX
|
||||
utilities into a single small executable. It provides
|
||||
minimalist replacements for most of the utilities you
|
||||
usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils,
|
||||
textutils, grep, gzip, tar, etc. BusyBox provides a
|
||||
fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or
|
||||
embedded system. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and
|
||||
limited resources in mind. It is also extremely modular
|
||||
so you can easily include or exclude commands (or
|
||||
features) at compile time. This makes it easy to
|
||||
customize your embedded systems. To create a working
|
||||
system, just add /dev, /etc, and a kernel.</p>

<b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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, <a href=
|
||||
"http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a>
|
||||
(author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated
|
||||
his <a href=
|
||||
"http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> 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.</p>

|
||||
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 <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to
|
||||
everyone that has contributed!<br>

<b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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 <a href=
|
||||
"downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for <small>most
|
||||
of</small> the details. The last release was
|
||||
<em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should
|
||||
be even better.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As usual BusyBox 0.60.2 can be downloaded from
|
||||
<a href=
|
||||
"downloads">http://www.busybox.net/downloads</a>.</p>
|
||||
