The busybox 1.2.0 ebuild works for 1.2.1 as well (it modifies the download path by using the version in $0). For those who want to build it in an overlay: - edit /etc/portage/package.keywords and add: "sys-apps/busybox ~*" - edit /etc/make.conf and add: "PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage" - create overlay directory: mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/busybox/files - copy and rename old ebuild: cp /usr/portage/sys-apps/busybox/busybox-1.2.0.ebuild \ /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/busybox/busybox-1.2.1.ebuild - copy patch from old ebuild: cp -r /usr/portage/sys-apps/busybox/files/1.2.0 \ /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/busybox/files - emerge busybox. Note that the patch directory "${FILEDIR}/1.2.0/bb.patch" is hardcoded in the existing sys-apps/busybox/busybox-1.2.0.ebuild. I trust that the maintainers will remember to fix this ;-)
in portage, cheers
