Hi all,

I notice the busybox.net "Browse Source" website switched to 
https://github.com/vda-linux/busybox_mirror. Is it worth treating that 
as the canonical location for now?

I can see a couple of previous threads about issues with the busybox.net 
Git hosting, I'm guessing this the same infrastructure abuse that most 
open source projects have been seeing recently.. my commiserations that 
you're having to deal with this :/

   * "busybox authoritative git repository (was: AI recommended changing 
from using git port to https?)" 
(https://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2026-April/092059.html)
   * "Not clear what is going on with site and git." 
(https://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2026-March/091970.html)

Thanks a lot
Sam
