Description Paolo Pedroni 2010-07-06 14:02:47 UTC
Version 1.16.2 of sys-apps/busybox is available for download at the URL
above.

This release has several bug fixes over current ~arch:
1.16.2 has fixes for ash (complex cases of stdin redirection, memory reallocation bug fix), cpio ("NNN blocks" goes to stderr now), udhcp (last byte of hosthame was truncated), dnsd (misaligned access), hush (in some cases $# was wrong), hwclock (subsecond sync code removed), sed (a corner case with line continuation is fixed).
1.16.1 has fixes for ash (SEGV with 'trap' and 'jobs'), beep (pause was 1000 times too small), udhcpd (SEGV with -v), fbsplash (re-enable drawing of images with size different than screen size), hush (exec was not picking up applets in standalone mode), blkid (a few newer swap formats supported), md5sum/shaNsum (accept -bt options), syslogd (logfile had mode 0666), tail (a case where we tried to write negative number of bytes), tftpd (open without third argument), touch (-d wasn't working as it should), wc (with one file, don't print any leading spaces), wget (SEGV if proxy is specified in environment), some toolchain compatibility fixes, help text fixes, build system fix (defconfig was not updated).
