- - The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux - -
- -BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single -small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the utilities -you usually find in fileutils, shellutils, findutils, textutils, grep, gzip, -tar, etc. BusyBox provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or -embedded system. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than -their full featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide -the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. -

-BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in mind. -It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude commands (or -features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize your embedded -systems. To create a working system, just add /dev, a kernel, and an editor, -such as nano, e3, or elvis-tiny. For a really minimal system, you can even use -the busybox shell (not Bourne compatible, but very small and quite usable). -

- -BusyBox is now maintained by - -Erik Andersen, and its ongoing development is being sponsored by -Lineo. -

-BusyBox is licensed under the -GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE -

  • 27 January 2001 -- BusyBox 0.49 released -
    - - Several new applets, lots of bug fixes, cleanups, and many smaller - things made nicer. Several cleanups and improvements to the shell. - For a list of the most interesting changes - you might want to look at the changelog. -

    - Special thanks go out to Matt Kraai and Larry Doolittle for all their - work on this release, and for keeping on top of things while I've been - out of town. -

    - Special Note
    - - BusyBox 0.49 was supposed to have replaced lash, the BusyBox - shell, with a new shell that understands full Bourne shell/Posix shell grammer. - Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new - shell that will eventually replace lash is already under - construction. This new shell is being developed by Larry - Doolittle, and could use all of our help. Please see the work in - progress on Larry's website - and help out if you can. This shell will be included in the next - release of BusyBox. - -

  • 13 December 2000 -- BusyBox 0.48 released -
    - - This release fixes lots and lots of bugs. This has had some very - rigorous testing, and looks very, very clean. The usual tar - update of course: tar no longer breaks hardlinks, tar -xzf is - optionally supported, and the LRP folks will be pleased to know - that 'tar -X' and 'tar --exclude' are both now in. Applets are - now looked up using a binary search making lash (the busybox - shell) much faster. For the new debian-installer (for Debian - woody) a .udeb can now be generated. -

    - The curious can get a list of some of the more interesting changes by reading - the changelog. -

    - Many thanks go out to the many many people that have contributed to - this release, especially Matt Kraai, Larry Doolittle, and Kent Robotti. - - -
