<b>3 January 2002 -- Welcome to busybox.net!</b>
|
||||
<b>6 March 2002 -- busybox.net now has mirrors!</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 now much more available, thanks to
|
||||
the fine folks at <a href= "http://i-netinnovations.com/">http://i-netinnovations.com/</a>
|
||||
who are providing hosting for busybox.net and
|
||||
uclibc.org. In addition, we now have two mirrors:
|
||||
<a href= "http://busybox.linuxmagic.com/">http://busybox.linuxmagic.com/</a>
|
||||
in Canada and
|
||||
<a href= "http://busybox.csservers.de/">http://busybox.csservers.de/</a>
|
||||
in Germany. I hope this makes things much more
|
||||
accessible for everyone!
|
||||
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Have Fun.<br>
