Fix three + embarassing thinkos in the new dmesg command. Two build tweaks + (dependencies for the compressed usage messages and running make in the + libbb subdirectory). One fix to tar so it can extract git-generated + tarballs (rather than barfing on the pax extensions). And a partridge + in a pear... Ahem.</p> + + <p>But wait, there's more! A passwd changing fix so an empty + gecos field doesn't trigger a false objection that the new passwd contains + the gecos field. Make all our setuid() and setgid() calls check the return + value in case somebody's using per-process resource limits that prevent + a user from having too many processes (and thus prevent a process from + switching away from root, in which case the process will now _die_ rather + than continue with root privileges). A fix to adduser to make sure that + /etc/group gets updated. And a fix to modprobe to look for modules.conf + in the right place on 2.6 kernels.</p> + <li><b>30 June 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.0</b> <p>The -devel branch has been stabilized and the result is <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.tar.bz2">Busybox |
