another list member and I are working on compiling busybox 1.4.1

Can you apply this patch before you compile? It's small, and trivial.

http://busybox.net/downloads/fixes-1.4.1/busybox-1.4.1-wgetSEGV.patch

I presume the other member knows HOW to apply a patch. He will try making a script to let me chroot to ./uclibc as 'user'. First I need to 'make config', unless anyone wants the ENTIRE package statically compiled. If not, what would you like added to the BL3 busybox that I did not include in 1.1.0 (which has vi, su and ftpget)?

It fixes a SEGV error in wget from 1.4.1. Busybox has a new maintainer
now, and he seems to have the philosophy of "release early, and
release often" so sometimes small issues like this creep in. But the
project is progressing at a very rapid pace. For example, busybox less
now handles regexp and paging properly. It's much smaller than GNU
less, of course, but unfortunately you can't scroll horizontally yet.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Is this something that was also broken in 1.3.2? We could compile that instead now. Or wait for the next stable release.

There were a couple of other patches there, but they didn't seem
relevant to me. You might check and see if you need any of them.

Okay.

I'm looking forward to testing this new busybox.

David
