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 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> + + <p><!-- + <center> + Click here to help support busybox.net! + <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> + <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> + <input type="hidden" name="business" value="andersen@codepoet.org"> + <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Support Busybox"> + <input type="hidden" name="image_url" value="https://codepoet-consulting.com/images/busybox2.jpg"> + <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"> + <input type="image" src="images/donate.png" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make donation using PayPal"> + </form> + </center> + --> + 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.

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> + -Erik</p> + </li> + <li> <b>18 November 2001 -- Help us buy busybox.net!</b> <!-- Begin PayPal Logo --> |
