27 September 2024 -- BusyBox 1.37.0 (unstable)

BusyBox 1.37.0. (git, patches, how to add a patch)

So seems very old?
Nothing of 1.38 git.


Latest successful download and clone I got produced.
BusyBox v1.38.0.git (2026-03-21 18:57:05 ChST) multi-call binary.
BusyBox is copyrighted by many authors between 1998-2015.

But success is random and mostly fails.

Latest attemp.

Cloning into 'busybox'...

Just tried now, and it worked. Port didn't show filtered?
But then tried again, and port is showing filtered?

$ nmap git.busybox.net  busybox.net  busybox.osuosl.org -Pn -p80

Nmap done: 3 IP addresses (3 hosts up) scanned in 2.14 seconds

Did see things about firewall settings might be blocking responses, 
so nmap is showing as filtered, and perhaps same reason isitdown 
site is showing it as down (filtered would result in down).

Don't know if perhaps university is doing something causing issue.

So, not sure what issue is, but seems something isn't correctly 
setup.
