Several other "only occurs on +a specific distro" bugs also got fixed (a Gentoo one in 1518, a Fedora +one in 1532). The longstanding uClibc++ build break where it complained +".config is a directory" was squashed by 1533.</p> + +<p>The new development was mostly prep work for toybox integration and fixing +bit-rot in record-commands.sh (used to test toybox). There was also a lot of +dealing with regressions introduced by package upgrades. (Upgrading uClibc +broke stuff. Upgrading busybox broke stuff. Upgrading the kernel +broke stuff all three times.)</p> + +<p>Busybox is still doing most of the heavy lifting both during the host +build and on the target, but the baseconfig-busybox file is now sorted with +toybox-supplied functionality at the end, allowing toybox to replace +busybox code incrementally as commands become ready.</p> + +<p>In future versions I'm looking at migrating this project from busybox/uClibc +to <a href="http://landley.net/toybox">toybox</a>/<a href=http://www.etalabs.net/musl>musl</a>, producing something compatible with Android's "no GPL in +userspace". I'm also looking at replacement toolchains, since it may take +me a while to clear time to work on <a href=http://landley.net/qcc>qcc</a>. +If you're curious about all that, ask on the mailing list.</p> + +<hr /> +<h2><a name="31-01-2012" />January 31, 2012</h2> <p>The <downloads/aboriginal-1.1.1.tar.bz2>1.1.1 release</a> is out, based on <a href=/hg/aboriginal/rev/1496>hg commit 1496</a>.</p>
