34 | <h2><a name="kernel">Which Linux kernel versions are supported?</a></h2> | ||
35 | <p> | ||
36 | |||
37 | |||
38 | Full functionality requires Linux 2.2.x or better. A large fraction of the | ||
39 | code should run on just about anything. While the current code is fairly | ||
40 | Linux specific, it should be fairly easy to port the majority of the code | ||
41 | to support, say, FreeBSD or Solaris, or Mac OS X, or even Windows (if you | ||
42 | are into that sort of thing). | ||
43 | |||
44 | |||
45 | <hr /> | ||
46 | <p> | ||
47 | <h2><a name="arch">Which architectures does BusyBox run on?</a></h2> | ||
48 | <p> | ||
49 | |||
50 | |||
51 | BusyBox in general will build on any architecture supported by gcc. | ||
52 | Kernel module loading for 2.2 and 2.4 Linux kernels is currently | ||
53 | limited to ARM, CRIS, H8/300, x86, ia64, x86_64, m68k, MIPS, PowerPC, | ||
54 | S390, SH3/4/5, Sparc, v850e, and x86_64 for 2.4.x kernels. | ||
55 | |||
56 | With 2.6.x kernels, module loading support should work on all architectures. | ||
57 | |||

59 | <hr /> | ||
60 | <p> | ||
61 | <h2><a name="libc">Which C libraries are supported?</a></h2> | ||
62 | <p> | ||
63 | |||
64 | |||
65 | uClibc and glibc are supported. People have been looking at newlib and | ||
66 | dietlibc, but they are currently considered unsupported, untested, or | ||
67 | worse. Linux-libc5 is no longer supported. If you require a small C | ||
68 | library, you should probably use uClibc. | ||
69 | |||
70 | |||
71 | <hr /> | ||
72 | <p> | ||
73 | <h2><a name="commercial">Can I include BusyBox as part of the software on my device?</h2> | ||
74 | |||
75 | Yes. As long as you <a href="http://busybox.net/license.html">fully comply | ||
76 | with the generous terms of the GPL BusyBox license</a> you can ship BusyBox | ||
77 | as part of the software on your device. | ||
78 | |||

84 | <h2><a name="bugs">I think I found a bug in BusyBox! What should I do?</h2> | ||
85 | <p> | ||
86 | |||
87 | If you find a problem with BusyBox, please submit a detailed bug report to | ||
88 | the BusyBox mailing list at <a href="mailto:busybox@mail.busybox.net"> | ||
89 | busybox@mail.busybox.net</a>. Please do not send private email to Erik | ||
90 | (the maintainer of BusyBox) asking for private help unless you are planning | ||
91 | on paying for consulting services. When we answer questions on the BusyBox | ||
92 | mailing list, it helps everyone, while private answers help only you... | ||
93 | |||
94 | <p> | ||
95 | |||
96 | If you find bugs, please submit a detailed bug report to the BusyBox mailing | ||
97 | list at busybox@mail.busybox.net. A well-written bug report should include a | ||
98 | transcript of a shell session that demonstrates the bad behavior and enables | ||
99 | anyone else to duplicate the bug on their own machine. The following is such | ||
100 | an example: | ||
101 | |||
102 | <pre> | ||
103 | To: busybox@mail.busybox.net | ||
104 | From: diligent@testing.linux.org | ||
105 | Subject: /bin/date doesn't work | ||
106 | |||
107 | Package: BusyBox | ||
108 | Version: 1.00 | ||
109 | |||
110 | When I execute BusyBox 'date' it produces unexpected results. | ||
111 | With GNU date I get the following output: | ||
112 | |||
113 | $ date | ||
114 | Fri Oct 8 14:19:41 MDT 2004 | ||
115 | |||
116 | But when I use BusyBox date I get this instead: | ||
117 | |||
118 | $ date | ||
119 | illegal instruction | ||
120 | |||
121 | I am using Debian unstable, kernel version 2.4.27 on a x86 system, | ||
122 | and the latest uClibc from CVS. Thanks for the wonderful program! | ||
123 | |||
124 | -Diligent | ||
125 | </pre> | ||
126 | |||
127 | Note the careful description and use of examples showing not only what BusyBox | ||
128 | does, but also a counter example showing what an equivalent GNU app does. Bug | ||
129 | reports lacking proper detail may never be fixed... Thanks for understanding. | ||

133 | <h2><a name="job_control">Why do I keep getting "sh: can't access tty; job control | ||
134 | turned off" errors? Why doesn't Control-C work within my shell?</a></h2> | ||
135 | <p> | ||
136 | |||
137 | Job control will be turned off since your shell can not obtain a controlling | ||
138 | terminal. This typically happens when you run your shell on /dev/console. | ||
139 | The kernel will not provide a controlling terminal on the /dev/console | ||
140 | device. Your should run your shell on a normal tty such as tty1 or ttyS0 | ||
141 | and everything will work perfectly. If you <em>REALLY</em> want your shell | ||
142 | to run on /dev/console, then you can hack your kernel (if you are into that | ||
143 | sortof thing) by changing drivers/char/tty_io.c to change the lines where | ||
144 | it sets "noctty = 1;" to instead set it to "0". I recommend you instead | ||
145 | run your shell on a real console... | ||

150 | <h2><a name="getting_started">How can I get started using BusyBox?</a></h2> | ||
151 | <p> | ||
152 | |||
153 | An easy method to build your own basic BusyBox based system, is to | ||
154 | follow these simple steps: | ||
155 | <ul> | ||
156 | <li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here</a> | ||
157 | <li> Click on "Download tarball" | ||
158 | <li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere | ||
159 | <li> run 'make' and configure things to taste. | ||
160 | <li> run 'unset CC'. Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC' | ||
161 | in the system environment which messes up cross compiles. | ||
162 | <li> run 'make' | ||
163 | <li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc | ||
164 | till it finishes downloading software and compiling things. | ||
165 | <li> You should now have a shiny new BusyBox based system. | ||
166 | </ul> | ||

258 | <h2><a name="optimize">I want to make busybox even smaller, how do I go about it?</a></h2> | ||
259 | <p> | ||
260 | To conserve bytes it's good to know where they're being used, and the | ||
261 | size of the final executable isn't always a reliable indicator of | ||
262 | the size of the components (since various structures are rounded up, | ||
263 | so a small change may not even be visible by itself, but many small | ||
264 | savings add up). | ||
265 | </p> | ||
266 | <p> | ||
267 | To examine a busybox binary with an eye to saving bytes, build an | ||
268 | optimized debug version and run the "nm" command against it, like so: | ||
269 | </p> | ||
270 | <p> | ||
271 | make clean && make STRIPCMD=/bin/true && nm --size-sort busybox | ||
272 | </p> | ||
273 | <p> | ||
274 | This gives a list of symbols and the amount of space allocated for | ||
275 | each one, sorted by size. (Note: do not enable CONFIG_DEBUG for this, | ||
276 | as that disables compiler optimization which is great for running gdb | ||
277 | but misleading when trying to figure out how much space each component | ||
278 | is really using under normal circumstances.) | ||

6 | <h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3> | ||
7 | |||
8 | |||
9 | BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single | ||
10 | small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you | ||
11 | usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox | ||
12 | generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, | ||
13 | the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave | ||
14 | very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete | ||
15 | environment for any small or embedded system. | ||
16 | |||
17 | <p> | ||
18 | |||
19 | BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in | ||
20 | mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude | ||
21 | commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize | ||
22 | your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device | ||
23 | nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel. | ||
24 | |||
25 | <p> | ||

12 | password for anonymous access). This step only needs to be done once, the first | ||
13 | time you attempt to access CVS. | ||
14 | <p> | ||
15 | Once the login is complete, you can then check the list of available | ||
16 | CVS modules by running the following command (all on one line): | ||
17 | <pre> | ||
18 | cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -c </pre> | ||
19 | |||
20 | <p> | ||
21 | If you wish, you can then check out a local copy of any of the | ||
22 | available modules. The following is an example of how to grab | ||
23 | a copy of busybox and tinylogin: | ||
24 | <pre> | ||
25 | cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@busybox.net:/var/cvs co -P busybox tinylogin</pre> | ||
26 | This will create a directory called <b>busybox</b> and a directory called | ||
27 | <b>tinylogin</b> in the current directory. These directories contain the | ||
28 | latest and greatest source code for busybox and tinylogin. | ||
29 | |||
30 | <p> | ||
31 | If you are not already familiar with using CVS, I recommend you visit | ||
32 | this quick <a href="/cvs_howto.html">Introduction to CVS</a>. | ||
33 | |||
34 | <p> | ||
35 | I usually create a ~/.cvsrc file with the following things in it, and I | ||
36 | recommend you should use the same: | ||
37 | <pre> | ||
38 | -z3 | ||
39 | update -dP | ||
40 | rdiff -u | ||
41 | diff -ubBwpN | ||
42 | checkout -P</pre> | ||
43 | |||
44 | <p> | ||
45 | Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your | ||
46 | source tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by | ||
47 | running the command: | ||
48 | <pre> | ||
49 | cvs update</pre> | ||
50 | |||
51 | Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be | ||
52 | able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting | ||
53 | them to the appropriate mailing list. For those that are actively contributing | ||
54 | <a href="cvs_write.html">CVS write access</a> can be made available. | ||

5 | |||
6 | |||
7 | If you want to know all the gory details, you will want to visit | ||
8 | <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">the CVS main web page</a>.<p> | ||
9 | For the impatient, the following is probably about all you need to know: | ||
10 | <p> | ||
11 | |||
12 | <dl> | ||
13 | <dt><pre>cvs checkout -c</pre> | ||
14 | <dd>Will list the modules available for checkout | ||
15 | <dt><pre>cvs checkout < module name ></pre> | ||
16 | <dd>Will checkout the named module | ||
17 | <dt><pre>cvs co < module name ></pre> | ||
18 | <dd>Same thing | ||
19 | <dt><pre>cvs update</pre> | ||
20 | |||
21 | <dd>Updates your local archive so it is in sync with the repository | ||
22 | -- your local updates are left intact. Tries to merge upstream updates | ||
23 | into your local updates. You will see the following tags when it is | ||
24 | updating your local repository: C means conflict, U means update, | ||
25 | P means patched, and M means modified. | ||
26 | <dt><pre>cvs up</pre> | ||
27 | <dd>Same thing | ||
28 | <dt><pre>cvs update < file name ></pre> | ||
29 | <dd>Same thing but for just the named file(s)/directory(s). | ||
30 | <dt><pre>cvs commit</pre> | ||
31 | <dd>Will check in all your work. | ||

4 | <h3>CVS Read/Write Access</h3> | ||
5 | |||
6 | If you want to be able to commit things to CVS, first contribute some | ||
7 | stuff to show you are serious. Then, very nicely ask | ||
8 | <a href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if he will set you up with | ||
9 | an account. To access CVS, you will want to add the following to set up your environment: | ||
10 | <pre> | ||
11 | $ export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh | ||
12 | $ export CVSROOT='username@cvs.busybox.net:/var/cvs'</pre> | ||
13 | <br> | ||
14 | It goes without saying you must change <em>username</em> to your own | ||
15 | username... | ||
16 | <p> | ||
17 | |||
18 | To obtain commit access, you will need to demonstrate you are | ||
19 | serious by submitting a few good patches first. Then, you will need to | ||
20 | select a user-name to use when committing stuff, and finally, you will | ||
21 | need to send me the username you have selected, an ssh key, and the email | ||
22 | address where you prefer email to be sent (I will forward any email sent | ||
23 | to you, but not store it). | ||
24 | |||
25 | <p> | ||
26 | Note that if you would prefer to keep your communications with me | ||
27 | private, you can encrypt your email using my | ||
28 | <a href="http://www.codepoet.org/andersen/erik/gpg.asc">public key</a>. | ||

4 | <h3>The GPL BusyBox license</h3> | ||
5 | |||
6 | There has been some confusion in the past as to exactly what is | ||
7 | required to safely distribute GPL'd software such as BusyBox as | ||
8 | part of a product. To ensure that there is no confusion | ||
9 | whatsoever, this page attempts to summarize what you should do to | ||
10 | ensure you do not accidentally violate the law. | ||
11 | |||
12 | <p> | ||
13 | <h3>Complying with the BusyBox license is easy and completely free.</h3> | ||
14 | |||
15 | U.S. and International Law protects copyright owners from the unauthorized | ||
16 | reproduction, adaptation, display, distribution, etc of copyright protected | ||
17 | works. Copyright violations (such as shipping BusyBox in a manner contrary to | ||
18 | its license) are subject to severe penalties. The courts can award up to | ||
19 | $150,000 per product shipped without even showing any actual loss by the | ||
20 | copyright holder. Criminal penalties are available for intentional acts | ||
21 | undertaken for purposes of "commercial advantage" or "private financial gain." | ||
22 | In addition, if it comes to my attention that you are violating the BusyBox | ||
23 | license, I will list you on the <a href="/shame.html">BusyBox Hall of Shame</a> | ||
24 | webpage. | ||
25 | |||
26 | <p> | ||
27 | |||
28 | Nobody wants that to happen. Do everyone a favor and don't break the law -- if | ||
29 | you use BusyBox, you <b>must comply with the BusyBox license</b>. | ||
30 | |||
31 | <p> | ||
32 | <h3>BusyBox is licensed under the GNU General Public License</h3> | ||
33 | |||
34 | BusyBox is licensed under the GNU General Public License , which | ||
35 | is generally just abbreviated as the GPL license, or | ||
36 | just the GPL. | ||
37 | <p> | ||
38 | <a href="/products.html">Anyone thinking of shipping | ||
39 | BusyBox as part of a product</a> should be familiar with the | ||
40 | licensing terms under which they are allowed to use and | ||
41 | distribute BusyBox. You are advised to take a look over the | ||
42 | |||
43 | <ul> | ||
44 | <li><a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">full text of | ||
45 | the GNU General Public License</a>, and | ||
46 | <li><a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html"> | ||

48 | </ul> | ||
49 | to be sure you (and your lawyers) fully understand them. | ||
50 | |||
51 | <p> | ||
52 | |||
53 | The following is a quick summary for the impatient. If you | ||
54 | carefully follow these steps, it will ensure that you are 100% | ||
55 | authorized to ship BusyBox with your product, and have no reason | ||
56 | to worry about lawsuits or being listed on the <a | ||
57 | href="/shame.html">BusyBox Hall of Shame</a> page. You will be | ||
58 | able to sleep peacefully at night knowing you have fulfilled all | ||
59 | your licensing obligations. | ||
60 | |||
61 | <p> | ||
62 | |||
63 | If you distribute a product, it should either be accompanied by | ||
64 | <b>full source for all GPL'd products</b> (including BusyBox) | ||
65 | and/or a <b>written offer</b> to supply the source for all | ||
66 | GPL'd products for the cost of shipping and handling. The source | ||
67 | has to be in its preferred machine readable form, so you cannot | ||
68 | encrypt or obfuscate it. You are not required to provide full | ||
69 | source for all the closed source applications that happen to be | ||
70 | part of the system with BusyBox, though you can certainly do so | ||
71 | if you feel like it. But providing source for the GPL licensed | ||
72 | applications such as BusyBox is mandatory. | ||
73 | |||
74 | <p> | ||
75 | |||
76 | <b>Accompanied by source</b> generally means you distribute the full | ||
77 | source code for all GPL'd products including BusyBox along with your | ||
78 | product, such as by placing it somewhere on a driver CD. Full source | ||
79 | code includes the BusyBox ".config" file used when your shipping BusyBox | ||
80 | binary was compiled, and any and all modifications you made to the | ||
81 | BusyBox source code. | ||
82 | |||
83 | <p> | ||
84 | |||
85 | <b>A written offer</b> generally means that somewhere in the | ||
86 | documentation for your product, you write something like | ||
87 | |||
88 | <blockquote> | ||
89 | The GPL source code contained in this product is available as a | ||
90 | free download from http://blah.blah.blah/ | ||
91 | </blockquote> | ||
92 | Alternatively, you can offer the source code by writing | ||
93 | somewhere in the documentation for your product something like | ||
94 | <blockquote> | ||
95 | If you would like a copy of the GPL source code contained in this | ||
96 | product shipped to you on CD, please send $9.99 to <address> | ||
97 | which covers the cost of preparing and mailing a CD to you. | ||
98 | </blockquote> | ||
99 | <p> | ||
100 | |||
101 | Keep in mind though that if you distribute GPL'd binaries online (as is often | ||
102 | done when supplying firmware updates), it is <b>highly</b> recommended that you | ||
103 | make the corresponding source available online at the same place. Regardless, | ||
104 | if you distribute a binary copy of BusyBox online (such as part of a firmware | ||
105 | update) you <b>must</b> either make source available online (i.e. | ||
106 | <b>accompanied by source</b>) and/or inform those downloading firmware updates | ||
107 | of their right to obtain source (i.e. <b>a written offer</b>). Failure to do | ||
108 | so is a violation of your licensing obligations. | ||
109 | |||
110 | |||
111 | <p> | ||
112 | |||
113 | Some people have the mistaken understanding that if they use unmodified | ||
114 | GPL'd source code, they do not need to distribute anything. This belief | ||
115 | is not correct, and is not supported by the | ||
116 | <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">text of GPL</a>. | ||
117 | Please do re-read it -- you will find there is no such provision. | ||
118 | If you distribute any GPL'd binaries, you must also make source available | ||
119 | as discussed on this webpage. | ||
120 | |||
121 | <p> | ||
122 | <h3>A Good Example</h3> | ||
123 | |||
124 | These days, <a href="http://www.linksys.com/">Linksys</a> is | ||
125 | doing a good job at complying with the GPL, they get to be an | ||
126 | example of how to do things right. Please take a moment and | ||
127 | check out what they do with | ||
128 | <a href="http://www.linksys.com/download/firmware.asp?fwid=178"> | ||
129 | distributing the firmware for their WRT54G Router.</a> | ||
130 | Following their example would be a fine way to ensure that you | ||
131 | have also fulfilled your licensing obligations. | ||

6 | <li><b>13 October 2004 -- BusyBox 1.00 released</b><p> | ||
7 | |||
8 | When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or | ||
9 | software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox. | ||
10 | With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and | ||
11 | who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices | ||
12 | is looking very bright. | ||
13 | |||
14 | <p> | ||
15 | |||
16 | It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every | ||
17 | device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date. | ||
18 | The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived! | ||
19 | |||
20 | <p> | ||
21 | |||
22 | Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous | ||
23 | improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux | ||
24 | KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel), | ||
25 | Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development | ||
26 | work and testing of thousands of people from around the world. | ||
27 | |||
28 | <p> | ||
29 | |||
30 | If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to | ||
31 | BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device | ||
32 | or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is | ||
33 | right for your application. If you need help getting started using | ||
34 | BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug | ||
35 | and need help reporting it, you are invited to visit the <a | ||
36 | href="FAQ.html">BusyBox FAQ</a>. | ||

33 | I <b>really</b> want to get BusyBox 1.0.0 released soon and I see no real | ||
34 | reason why the 1.0.0 release shouldn't happen with things pretty much as | ||
35 | is. BusyBox is in good shape at the moment, and it works nicely for | ||
36 | everything that I'm doing with it. And from the reports I've been getting, | ||
37 | it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well. | ||
38 | There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with | ||
39 | it. No, BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while | ||
40 | there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work | ||
41 | is waiting till we can get a solid 1.0.0 release out the door.... | ||

59 | On a less happy note, My 92 year old grandmother (my dad's mom) passed away | ||
60 | yesterday (June 19th). The funeral will be Thursday in a little town about | ||
61 | 2 hours south of my home. I've checked and there is absolutely no way I | ||
62 | could be back in time for the funeral if I attend <a | ||
63 | href="http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2004/">OLS</a> and give my presentation | ||
64 | as scheduled. | ||
65 | <p> | ||
66 | As such, it is with great reluctance and sadness that I have come | ||

272 | If you have submitted a patch or a bug report to the busybox | ||
273 | mailing list and no one has emailed you explaining why your | ||
274 | patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch has | ||
275 | somehow gotten lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. | ||

277 | mailing list! | ||

280 | |||
281 | The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of | ||
282 | people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be | ||
283 | fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature | ||
284 | (besides additional testing) that is still still on the TODO | ||
285 | list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release is sorting out the | ||
286 | modutils issues. For the new 2.6.x kernels, we already have | ||
287 | patches adding insmod and rmmod support and those need to be | ||
288 | integrated. For 2.4.x kernels, for which busybox only supports | ||
289 | a limited number of architectures, we may want to invest a bit | ||
290 | more work before we cut 1.0.0. Or we may just leave 2.4.x | ||
291 | module loading alone. | ||
292 | |||
293 | <p> | ||
294 | |||
295 | I had hoped this release would be out a month ago. And of | ||
296 | course, it wasn't since Erik became busy getting a release of | ||
297 | <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> | ||
298 | out the door. Many thanks to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for | ||
299 | stepping in and helping get a bunch of patches merged! I am | ||
300 | not even going to state a date for releasing BusyBox 1.0.0 | ||
301 | -pre4 (or the final 1.0.0). We're aiming for late September... | ||
302 | But if this release proves as to be exceptionally stable (or | ||
303 | exceptionally unstable!), the next release may be very soon | ||
304 | indeed. | ||

317 | |||
318 | Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable | ||
319 | series. The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of | ||
320 | testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of | ||
321 | bugs, and these problems have now been fixed. | ||
322 | |||
323 | <p> | ||
324 | |||
325 | Highlights of -pre2 include updating the 'ash' shell to sync up | ||
326 | with the Debian 'dash' shell, a new 'hdparm' applet was added, | ||
327 | init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and | ||
328 | 'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init. | ||
329 | an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows | ||
330 | read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the | ||
331 | 'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were | ||
332 | tons of doc updates, and there were many other bugs fixed. | ||

362 | The busybox development series has been under construction for | ||
363 | nearly two years now. Which is just entirely too long... So | ||
364 | it is with great pleasure that I announce the imminent release | ||
365 | of a new stable series. Due to the huge number of changes | ||

484 | |||
485 | <p>Thanks to the generosity of a number of busybox | ||
486 | users, we have been able to purchase busybox.net | ||
487 | (which is where you are probably reading this). | ||
488 | Right now, busybox.net and uclibc.org are both | ||
489 | living on my home system (at the end of my DSL | ||
490 | line). I apologize for the abrupt move off of | ||
491 | busybox.lineo.com. Unfortunately, I no longer have | ||
492 | the access needed to keep that system updated (for | ||
493 | example, you might notice the daily snapshots there | ||
494 | stopped some time ago).</p> | ||
495 | |||
496 | <p>Busybox.net is currently hosted on my home | ||
497 | server, at the end of a DSL line. Unfortunately, | ||
498 | the load on them is quite heavy. To address this, | ||
499 | I'm trying to make arrangements to get busybox.net | ||
500 | co-located directly at an ISP. To assist in the | ||
501 | co-location effort, <a href= | ||
502 | "http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> | ||
503 | (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated | ||
504 | his <a href= | ||
505 | "http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer | ||
506 | for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this | ||
507 | system is co-located, the current speed problems | ||
508 | should be completely eliminated. Hopefully, too, | ||
509 | some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror | ||
510 | sites, to help to distribute the load a bit.</p> | ||

525 | Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox | ||
526 | donations, let me assure you that no one is getting | ||
527 | rich here. All BusyBox and uClibc donations will be | ||
528 | spent paying for bandwidth and needed hardware | ||
529 | upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently | ||
530 | has just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when | ||
531 | google spidered the site the other day, 64 Megs in | ||
532 | not enough, so I'm going to be ordering 256Megs of | ||
533 | ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So | ||
534 | far, donations received have been sufficient to | ||
535 | cover almost all expenses. In the future, we may | ||
536 | have co-location fees to worry about, but for now | ||
537 | we are ok. A <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to | ||

552 | this release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh | ||
553 | (the minix shell) has been re-worked by Vladimir N. | ||
554 | Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when | ||
555 | told to do complex things with backticks.</p> | ||
556 | |||
557 | <p>This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and | ||
558 | powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so it | ||
559 | should work with just about any Linux system you | ||

590 | I've contacted the current owner of busybox.net and he is willing | ||
591 | to sell the domain name -- for $250. He also owns busybox.org but | ||
592 | will not part with it... I will then need to pay the registry fee | ||
593 | for a couple of years and start paying for bandwidth, so this will | ||
594 | initially cost about $300. I would like to host busybox.net on my | ||
595 | home machine (codepoet.org) so I have full control over the system, | ||
596 | but to do that would require that I increase the level of bandwidth | ||
597 | I am paying for. Did you know that so far this month, there | ||
598 | have been over 1.4 Gigabytes of busybox ftp downloads? I don't | ||
599 | even <em>know</em> how much CVS bandwidth it requires. For the | ||
600 | time being, Lineo has continued to graciously provide this | ||
601 | bandwidth, despite the fact that I no longer work for them. If I | ||
602 | start running this all on my home machine, paying for the needed bandwidth | ||
603 | will start costing some money. | ||
604 | <p> | ||
605 | |||
606 | I was going to pay it all myself, but my wife didn't like that | ||
607 | idea at all (big surprise). It turns out <insert argument | ||
608 | where she wins and I don't> she has better ideas | ||
609 | about what we should spend our money on that don't involve | ||
610 | busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the | ||
611 | mailing list and web page. So... | ||
612 | <p> | ||
613 | |||
614 | I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit, we could pick | ||
615 | up the busybox.net domain name and cover the bandwidth costs. I | ||
616 | know that busybox is being used by a lot of companies as well as | ||
617 | individuals -- hopefully people and companies that are willing to | ||
618 | contribute back a bit. So if everyone could please help out, that | ||

623 | <li> <b>23 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.1 released</b> | ||
624 | <br> | ||
625 | |||
626 | This is a relatively minor bug fixing release that fixes | ||
627 | up the bugs that have shown up in the stable release in | ||
628 | the last few weeks. Fortunately, nothing <em>too</em> | ||
629 | serious has shown up. This release only fixes bugs -- no | ||
630 | new features, no new applets. So without further ado, | ||
631 | here it is. Come and get it. | ||
632 | <p> | ||
633 | The | ||

642 | <br> | ||
643 | I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of | ||
644 | BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc, | ||
645 | and <a href="http://uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> on | ||
646 | x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number | ||
647 | of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success. | ||
648 | Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice | ||
649 | stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes | ||
650 | a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and | ||
651 | cleans up a number of things. | ||
652 | |||
653 | <p> | ||
654 | |||
655 | Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can | ||
656 | use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> | ||
657 | to give it a try by downloading and compiling | ||
658 | <a href="ftp://busybox.net/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. | ||
659 | You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way. | ||
660 | Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on busybox.net. | ||
661 | <p> | ||
662 | Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="downloads/tutorial/index.html"> | ||
663 | BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires | ||
664 | a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the | ||
665 | the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a> | ||
666 | to view the tutorial. | ||
667 | <p> | ||
668 | |||
669 | Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the | ||
670 | version number of this release, let me point out that this release | ||
671 | is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a | ||
672 | bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form | ||
673 | a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a | ||
674 | stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable | ||
675 | 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then | ||
676 | 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that | ||
677 | the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the | ||
678 | next release and I don't want that to break products that people | ||
679 | are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be | ||
680 | released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will | ||
681 | have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things | ||
682 | stabilize and the new build system is working for everyone, then | ||
683 | I will release that as a new stable release series. | ||
684 | |||
685 | <p> | ||
686 | The | ||
687 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all | ||
688 | the details. As usual BusyBox 0.60.0 can be downloaded from | ||

694 | <li> <b>7 July 2001 -- BusyBox 0.52 released</b> | ||
695 | <br> | ||
696 | |||
697 | I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of | ||
698 | BusyBox 0.52 (the "new-and-improved rock-solid release"). This | ||
699 | release is the result of <em>many</em> hours of work and has tons | ||
700 | of bugfixes, optimizations, and cleanups. This release adds | ||
701 | several new applets, including several new shells (such as hush, msh, | ||
702 | and ash). | ||
703 | |||
704 | <p> | ||
705 | The | ||
706 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> covers | ||
707 | some of the more obvious details, but there are many many things that | ||
708 | are not mentioned, but have been improved in subtle ways. As usual, | ||
709 | BusyBox 0.52 can be downloaded from | ||
710 | <a href="downloads">http://busybox.net/downloads</a>. | ||
711 | <p>Have Fun! | ||

714 | |||
715 | <li> <b>10 April 2001 - Graph of Busybox Growth </b> | ||
716 | <br> | ||
717 | The illustrious Larry Doolittle has made a PostScript chart of the growth | ||
718 | of the Busybox tarball size over time. It is available for downloading / | ||
719 | viewing <a href= "busybox-growth.ps"> right here</a>. | ||
720 | |||
721 | <p> (Note that while the number of applets in Busybox has increased, you | ||
722 | can still configure Busybox to be as small as you want by selectively | ||
723 | turning off whichever applets you don't need.) | ||
724 | <p> | ||
725 | |||
726 | |||
727 | <li> <b>10 April 2001 -- BusyBox 0.51 released</b> | ||
728 | <br> | ||
729 | |||
730 | BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This | ||
731 | release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet, | ||
732 | contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only | ||
733 | 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release. | ||
734 | There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in | ||
735 | the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in | ||
736 | 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially | ||
737 | deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system. | ||
738 | <p> | ||
739 | |||
740 | There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For | ||
741 | one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov | ||
742 | added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC | ||
743 | compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility | ||
744 | functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now | ||
745 | all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes | ||
746 | maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now | ||
747 | compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters | ||
748 | for letting me use their system!). | ||
749 | <p> | ||
750 | You can read the | ||
751 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for | ||
752 | complete details. BusyBox 0.51 can be downloaded from | ||

766 | Download the image</a> | ||
767 | |||
768 | <li> dd it onto a floppy like so: <tt> dd if=busybox.floppy.img | ||
769 | of=/dev/fd0 ; sync </tt> | ||
770 | |||
771 | <li> Pop it in a machine and boot up. | ||
772 | |||
773 | </ol> | ||
774 | |||
775 | <p> If you want to look at the contents of the initrd image, do this: | ||

786 | <li> <b>15 March 2001 -- BusyBox 0.50 released</b> | ||
787 | <br> | ||
788 | |||
789 | This release adds several new applets including ifconfig, route, pivot_root, stty, | ||
790 | and tftp, and also fixes tons of bugs. Tab completion in the | ||
791 | shell is now working very well, and the shell's environment variable | ||
792 | expansion was fixed. Tons of other things were fixed or made | ||
793 | smaller. For a fairly complete overview, see the | ||
794 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>. | ||
795 | <p> | ||
796 | lash (the busybox shell) is still with us, fixed up a bit so it | ||
797 | now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as | ||
798 | long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer. | ||
799 | Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and | ||
800 | environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that | ||
801 | this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible | ||
802 | framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of | ||
803 | business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell | ||
804 | currently in progress at | ||

809 | <li> <b>27 January 2001 -- BusyBox 0.49 released</b> | ||
810 | <br> | ||
811 | |||
812 | Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller | ||
813 | things made nicer. Several cleanups and improvements to the shell. | ||
814 | For a list of the most interesting changes | ||
815 | you might want to look at the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>. | ||
816 | <p> | ||
817 | Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their | ||
818 | work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been | ||
819 | out of town. | ||
820 | <p> | ||
821 | <em>Special Note</em><br> | ||
822 | |||
823 | BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox | ||
824 | shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer. | ||
825 | Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new | ||
826 | shell that will eventually replace lash is already under | ||
827 | construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry | ||
828 | Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in | ||
829 | progress on <a href="http://doolittle.faludi.com/~larry/parser.html">Larry's website</a> | ||
830 | and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next | ||
831 | release of BusyBox. | ||
832 | <p> | ||
833 | |||
834 | <li> <b>13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released</b> | ||
835 | <br> | ||
836 | |||
837 | This release fixes lots and lots of bugs. This has had some very | ||
838 | rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. The usual tar | ||
839 | update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is | ||
840 | optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know | ||
841 | that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are | ||
842 | now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox | ||
843 | shell) much faster. For the new debian-installer (for Debian | ||
844 | woody) a .udeb can now be generated. | ||
845 | <p> | ||
846 | The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading | ||
847 | the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>. | ||
848 | <p> | ||
849 | Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to | ||
850 | this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti. | ||
851 | <p> | ||
852 | <p> <li> <b>26 September 2000 -- BusyBox 0.47 released</b> | ||
853 | <br> | ||
854 | |||
855 | This release fixes lots of bugs (including an ugly bug in 0.46 | ||
856 | syslogd that could fork-bomb your system). Added several new | ||
857 | apps: rdate, wget, getopt, dos2unix, unix2dos, reset, unrpm, | ||
858 | renice, xargs, and expr. syslogd now supports network logging. | ||
859 | There are the usual tar updates. Most apps now use getopt for | ||
860 | more correct option parsing. | ||
861 | See the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> | ||
862 | for complete details. | ||
863 | |||
864 | |||
865 | <p> <li> <b>11 July 2000 -- BusyBox 0.46 released</b> | ||
866 | <br> | ||
867 | |||
868 | This release fixes several bugs (including a ugly bug in tar, | ||
869 | and fixes for NFSv3 mount support). Added a dumpkmap to allow | ||
870 | people to dump a binary keymaps for use with 'loadkmap', and a | ||
871 | completely reworked 'grep' and 'sed' which should behave better. | ||
872 | BusyBox shell can now also be used as a login shell. | ||
873 | See the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> | ||
874 | for complete details. | ||
875 | |||
876 | |||
877 | <p> <li> <b>21 June 2000 -- BusyBox 0.45 released</b> | ||
878 | <br> | ||
879 | |||
880 | This release has been slow in coming, but is very solid at this | ||
881 | point. BusyBox now supports libc5 as well as GNU libc. This | ||
882 | release provides the following new apps: cut, tr, insmod, ar, | ||
883 | mktemp, setkeycodes, md5sum, uuencode, uudecode, which, and | ||
884 | telnet. There are bug fixes for just about every app as well (see | ||
885 | the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for | ||
886 | details). | ||
887 | <p> | ||
888 | Also, some exciting infrastructure news! Busybox now has its own | ||
889 | <a href="lists/busybox/">mailing list</a>, | ||
890 | publically browsable | ||
891 | <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/busybox/">CVS tree</a>, | ||
892 | anonymous | ||
893 | <a href="cvs_anon.html">CVS access</a>, and | ||
894 | for those that are actively contributing there is even | ||
895 | <a href="cvs_write.html">CVS write access</a>. | ||
896 | I think this will be a huge help to the ongoing development of BusyBox. | ||
897 | <p> | ||
898 | Also, for the curious, there is no 0.44 release. Somehow 0.44 got announced | ||
899 | a few weeks ago prior to its actually being released. To avoid any confusion | ||
900 | we are just skipping 0.44. | ||
901 | <p> | ||
902 | Many thanks go out to the many people that have contributed to this release | ||
903 | of BusyBox (esp. Pavel Roskin)! | ||
904 | |||
905 | |||
906 | <p> <li> <b>19 April 2000 -- syslogd bugfix</b> | ||
907 | <br> | ||
908 | Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd. | ||
909 | For example, with the following test app: | ||
910 | <pre> | ||
911 | #include <syslog.h> | ||
912 | |||
913 | int do_log(char* msg, int delay) | ||
914 | { | ||
915 | openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON); | ||
916 | while(1) { | ||
917 | syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg); | ||
918 | sleep(delay); | ||
919 | } | ||
920 | closelog(); | ||
921 | return(0); | ||
922 | }; | ||
923 | |||
924 | int main(void) | ||
925 | { | ||
926 | if (fork()==0) | ||
927 | do_log("A", 2); | ||
928 | do_log("B", 3); | ||
929 | } | ||
930 | </pre> | ||
931 | it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff | ||
932 | from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something | ||
933 | while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad). | ||
934 | <p> | ||
935 | Karl M. Hegbloom has created a fix for the problem. | ||
936 | Thanks Karl! | ||
937 | |||
938 | |||
939 | <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b> | ||
940 | <br> | ||
941 | I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty | ||
942 | good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release | ||
943 | so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps | ||
944 | have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime, | ||
945 | freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely | ||
946 | rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced. | ||
947 | More details are available in the | ||
948 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>. | ||
949 | Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive | ||
950 | <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information. | ||
951 | |||
952 | <p> | ||
953 | Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches | ||
954 | and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were | ||
955 | Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti, | ||
956 | Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason. | ||
957 | There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry. | ||

962 | <p> <li> <b>9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release</b> | ||
963 | <br> | ||
964 | Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to | ||
965 | do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people | ||
966 | to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at | ||
967 | 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing | ||
968 | tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw | ||
969 | at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because | ||
970 | the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release | ||
971 | of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable | ||
972 | enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural | ||
973 | changes I still want to make. | ||
974 | <p> | ||
975 | The pre-release can be found <a href="downloads">here</a>. | ||
976 | Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs. | ||
977 | |||
978 | <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b> | ||
979 | <br> | ||
980 | I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7 | ||
981 | lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City. | ||
982 | He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and | ||
983 | it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the | ||
984 | fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody | ||
985 | and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife | ||
986 | (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying | ||
987 | down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now" | ||
988 | (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the | ||
989 | contrary). | ||
990 | <p> | ||
991 | Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting | ||
992 | labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully. | ||
993 | <p> | ||
994 | So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle... | ||
995 | Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect | ||
996 | to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will | ||
997 | include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a | ||
998 | re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now | ||
999 | accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking | ||
1000 | problems. | ||

1007 | bugs have been fixed. See the | ||
1008 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for details. | ||
1009 | |||
1010 | Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount | ||
1011 | filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and | ||
1012 | behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak | ||
1013 | loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung, | ||
1014 | Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for | ||
1015 | their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound | ||

21 | BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix | ||
22 | utilities into a single executable. Most people will create a | ||
23 | link to busybox for each function they wish to use, and BusyBox | ||
24 | will act like whatever it was invoked as. | ||

4 | <h3>Hall of Shame!!!</h3> | ||
5 | |||
6 | The following products and/or projects appear to use BusyBox, but do not | ||
7 | appear to release source code as required by the <a | ||
8 | href="/license.html">BusyBox license</a>. This is a violation of the law! | ||
9 | The distributors of these products are invited to contact <a href= | ||
10 | "mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if they have any confusion | ||
11 | as to what is needed to bring their products into compliance, or if they have | ||
12 | already brought their product into compliance and wish to be removed from the | ||
13 | Hall of Shame. | ||
14 | |||
15 | <p> | ||
16 | |||
17 | Here are the details of <a href="/license.html">exactly how to comply | ||
18 | with the BusyBox license</a>, so there should be no question as to | ||
19 | exactly what is expected. | ||
20 | Complying with the Busybox license is easy and completely free, so the | ||
21 | companies listed below should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, each | ||
22 | product listed here is subject to being legally ordered to cease and desist | ||
23 | distribution for violation of copyright law, and the distributor of each | ||
24 | product is subject to being sued for statutory copyright infringement damages | ||
25 | of up to $150,000 per work plus legal fees. Nobody wants to be sued, and <a | ||
26 | href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik</a> certainly would prefer to spend | ||
27 | his time doing better things than sue people. But he will sue if forced to | ||
28 | do so to maintain compliance. | ||
29 | |||
30 | <p> | ||
31 | |||
32 | Do everyone a favor and don't break the law -- if you use busybox, comply with | ||
33 | the busybox license by releasing the source code with your product. | ||
