busybox (1:1.18.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
[ Loïc Minier ]
* Drop debian/gbp.conf as git-buildpackage 0.5.22 doesn't need this anymore.
[ Michael Tokarev ]
* imported upstream sources into the git repository, and removed
debian/README.sources (the package can be built by gbp directly)
* enable switch_root applet (Closes: #572939)
* enable seq applet (Closes: #618927)
* enable float and fancy sleep (Closes: #341403)
* enable getopt (with long options) for udeb (Closes: #348314)
* enable standalone telnetd in static build (Closes: #621485)
* enable ps wide output (ps -w) (Closes: #519045)
* add debian/.gitignore to ignore generated files in debian/ directory
* enable cmp applet in udeb flavour
* enable diff applet in regular and static builds (Closes: #625774)
* enable missing compression applets in static build
* sync deb=>static config a bit more
* enable SEAMLESS_XZ decompression for static and regular builds
* udhcpc: emit "correct" secs field from upstream (Closes: #630000)
* new upstream (minor) release 0.18.5
[ Colin Watson ]
* Fix udhcpc default.script to operate only on IPv4, to allow dual-stack

Binary packages built by this source
- busybox: 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. Some of the utilities
can be used in the system by installing the busybox-syslogd,
busybox-udhcpc or busybox-udhcpd packages.
- busybox-initramfs: Standalone shell setup for initramfs
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-initramfs provides a simple stand alone shell that provides
only the basic utilities needed for the initramfs.
- busybox-static: 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.
- busybox-syslogd: Provides syslogd and klogd using busybox
The system log daemon is responsible for providing logging of
messages received from programs and facilities on the local host as
well as from remote hosts.
.
The kernel log daemon listens to kernel message sources and is
responsible for prioritizing and processing operating system
messages.
.
The busybox implementation of the syslogd is particular useful on
embedded, diskless (netboot) or flash disk based systems because it
can use a fixed size ring buffer for logging instead of saving logs
to the disk or sending it to remote logging servers. The ring buffer
can be read using the (also busybox based) command logread.
.
This package provides the glue to the busybox syslogd and klogd to be
used in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
scripts.
- busybox-udeb: 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.
- udhcpc: Provides the busybox DHCP client implementation
Busybox contains a very small yet fully function RFC compliant DHCP
client formerly known as udhcpc.
.
This package contains the glue to use the busybox udhcpc as DHCP
client in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
scripts.
- udhcpd: Provides the busybox DHCP server implementation
Busybox contains a very small yet fully function RFC compliant DHCP
server formerly known as udhcpd.
.
This package contains the glue to use the busybox udhcpd as DHCP
server in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
scripts.
