busybox 1:1.30.1-7ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

busybox (1:1.30.1-7ubuntu1) jammy; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable.  Remaining changes:
    - [udeb] Enable chvt, killall, losetup, od, and stat.
    - test-bin.patch: Move test and friends to /bin.
    - static-sh-alias.patch: Add static-sh alias name for ash, and install
      /bin/static-sh symlink to busybox in busybox-static.
    - Add busybox-initramfs.
    - debian/config/pkg/deb
      debian/config/pkg/static:
      Enable chpasswd in standard and static builds (needed by LXC).
    - Move zz-busybox to busybox-initramfs to ensure we get links to all
      the tools we need, stop shipping it anywhere else.
    - Prefer busybox commands over klibc commands where there is duplication.
    - Add Ubuntu configuration for busybox binaries.
    - Enable the new klibc utility implementations, nuke and run-init
      in the initramfs package; and also enable reboot.  Doesn't yet make
      klibc-utils irrelevant - we still use ipconfig, fstype, and nfsmount
      - but it moves us much closer and should save a little bit of disk
      space.
    - debian/patches/58d998d2f927c20f2ba728611df587ac8ec8bda9.patch
      debian/patches/adjust-testsuite-for-fixed-bunzip2.patch
      Cherry-pick upstream fix for the bzip2 test failure
      Adjust testsuite expectations.
    - debian/config/pkg/initramfs: Enable the date applet with the same
      options as the other variants for use in fixrtc and casper scripts.
    - debian/config/pkg/initramfs
      debian/tree/busybox/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/zz-busybox:
      Enable TLS in initramfs flavour of wget applet, requires openssl
    - debian/patches/45fa3f18adf57ef9d743038743d9c90573aeeb91.patch:
      Enable TLS verification with OpenSSL
    - SECURITY UPDATE: missing ssl cert validation in wget applet
      debian/patches/CVE-2018-1000500-2.patch: fix openssl options for cert
      verification in networking/wget.c. (CVE-2018-1000500)
  * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
    - Fix FTBFS with newer glibc:
      debian/config/pkg/*: disable CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS. This is only
      required for kernels < 2.6.23, and no longer builds with glibc in
      groovy as the RPC functions are gone.

busybox (1:1.30.1-7) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Debian Janitor ]
  * Remove constraints unnecessary since stretch:
    + busybox: Drop versioned constraint on initramfs-tools in Breaks.

  [ Aurelien Jarno ]
  * Team upload.
  * Disable CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS. This option is to "Support mounting NFS
    file systems on Linux < 2.6.23", which are not supported anymore in
    Debian. It requires RPC support in glibc, which has just been removed.

Binary packages built by this source

busybox: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems

 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
 mount, tar, etc.). 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.
 .
 This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install
 symlinks for any of the supported utilities. Some of the utilities
 can be used in the system by installing the busybox-syslogd,
 busybox-udhcpc or busybox-udhcpd packages.

busybox-dbgsym: debug symbols for busybox
busybox-initramfs: Standalone shell setup for initramfs

 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
 mount, tar, etc.). 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-initramfs provides a simple stand alone shell that provides
 only the basic utilities needed for the initramfs.

busybox-initramfs-dbgsym: debug symbols for busybox-initramfs
busybox-static: Standalone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities

 BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
 small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
 utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv,
 mount, tar, etc.). 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-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell
 that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is
 intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your
 system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save
 your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the
 available builtin commands.

busybox-static-dbgsym: debug symbols for busybox-static
busybox-syslogd: Provides syslogd and klogd using busybox

 The system log daemon is responsible for providing logging of
 messages received from programs and facilities on the local host as
 well as from remote hosts.
 .
 The kernel log daemon listens to kernel message sources and is
 responsible for prioritizing and processing operating system
 messages.
 .
 The busybox implementation of the syslogd is particular useful on
 embedded, diskless (netboot) or flash disk based systems because it
 can use a fixed size ring buffer for logging instead of saving logs
 to the disk or sending it to remote logging servers. The ring buffer
 can be read using the (also busybox based) command logread.
 .
 This package provides the glue to the busybox syslogd and klogd to be
 used in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
 scripts.

udhcpc: Provides the busybox DHCP client implementation

 Busybox contains a very small yet fully functional RFC compliant DHCP
 client formerly known as udhcpc.
 .
 This package contains the glue to use the busybox udhcpc as DHCP
 client in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
 scripts.

udhcpd: Provides the busybox DHCP server implementation

 Busybox contains a very small yet fully function RFC compliant DHCP
 server formerly known as udhcpd.
 .
 This package contains the glue to use the busybox udhcpd as DHCP
 server in the system by providing the appropriate symbolic links and
 scripts.
