The main web page shows 1.37.0, but page has 45 - 404 error, and no real updates or responses from maintainer? But at same time the git of 1.38 is getting updates. Comparing the bz2 files, 1.38 has 12,000 new lines, and 1.37 has about 6,000 lines removed. git link for 1.37 is one of 404 errors. git clone and git pull get the 1.38? Followed links and degian busybox came up with updates in last month. Message to the list have list members talking, but nothing from maintainer, or anyone that seems to have write access. In some ways seems dead at least the main web page, but the git does have updates. snapshot directory has 32 files. Last 31 days, plus a copy of latest as snapshot. Of the 32 files, they are currently only to different ones. 01-20 are same files. 21-32 are same files. Latest difference is libbb, telnet.c and telnetd.c. Just wondering if might be info. emails to maintaner gmail accounts get no response, and neither does email to his redhat.com account? Thanks. Been a user of busybox since 2004, just seems after 1.37 its status has been poor. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
