BusyBox 0.60.5 released

[Posted October 29, 2002 by cook]

Version 0.60.5 of the BusyBox Embedded system tool set has been released. "This is a bugfix release for the stable series to address all the problems that have turned up since the last release. Unfortunately, the previous release had a few nasty bugs (i.e. init could deadlock, gunzip -c tried to delete source files, cp -a wouldn't copy symlinks, and init was not always providing controlling ttys when it should have)."

Try the CVS version

The development version has Linux-like configuration system, which makes it very easy to upgrade Busybox while keeping the old confguration. The first version from the development branch is going to be released very soon. If you are planning to play with Busybox (as opposed to running it for business), and especially if you know how to fix and report little bugs, try the CVS version.
