Bug 99849 – request for newer snapshot of busybox

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Johnson 2005-07-21 15:34:10 UTC]

Could we please have some more recent snapshots of busybox made available?

[Comment 1 SpanKY 2005-07-21 16:56:19 UTC]

i assume you're asking for this because you want e2fsprogs ...

we've been reworking branches in busybox svn so we now have a bugfix
1.0.1 branch and the e2fsprogs will be moved to a 1.1 branch (trunk for
now)

so if we were to add a snapshot, it'd be of trunk, and it'd be a 1.1
snapshot which would always be p.masked and KEYWORDS=-* ...

p.masked and KEYWORDS=-* is fine for me.
it's mostly e2fsprogs, but also stat from coreutils.

busybox-1.1_pre20050802 now in portage

should be able to just rename it to get newer snapshots

builds and appears to run fine for me. One thing I noticed is that /bin/bb now 
acts the same as /bin/busybox where it lists applets vs directly invoking the 
ash shell.

forgot the bb patch, added back in
