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. Package: busybox-static Architecture: any Built-Using: ${built-using} Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Conflicts: busybox Replaces: busybox Provides: busybox Section: shells Description: 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. Package: busybox-udeb Package-Type: udeb Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Section: debian-installer Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer 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-udeb is used by the debian-installer, so unless you are working on the debian-installer, this package is not for you. Installing this on your Debian system is a very, very bad idea. You have been warned. Package: busybox-syslogd Architecture: all Depends: busybox (>> ${source:Upstream-Version}) | busybox-static (>> ${source:Upstream-Version}), lsb-base, ${misc:Depends}, Provides: linux-kernel-log-daemon, system-log-daemon Conflicts: linux-kernel-log-daemon, system-log-daemon Description: 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. Package: udhcpc Section: net Architecture: linux-any Depends: busybox (>> ${source:Upstream-Version}) | busybox-static (>> ${source:Upstream-Version}), ${misc:Depends}, Description: 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. Package: udhcpd Section: net Architecture: linux-any Depends: busybox (>> ${source:Upstream-Version}) | busybox-static (>> ${source:Upstream-Version}), lsb-base, ${misc:Depends}, Provides: dhcpd Description: 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.
