NO!
I've had a total change of attitude after seeing penguinbait's KDE. Since I'm mainly a KDE/RedHat/Fedora developer I've decided to hold back the code for use in an RPM to be published, possibly as part of a partial/full armel distro for the tablets using the new busybox, KDE, and other libraries. We'll see how that works out . . .

busybox 1.6.1 deb for OS2008
I don't think he tested very thoroughly.

first: very nice troll. i may as well take the bait
1. if you did not take any of nokia's patches (which you claimed) then busybox won't work with dpkg correctly (have you tried to install anything?)
2. if you had released your package, i wouldn't have wasted all that time creating my own.
3. i'm not nearly so petty to bother copyrighting trivial edits to a config script. i daresay you put more energy into the above post.
4. but if you want to get pedantic, i hope the full sources including your modifications are available with your mysterious package in compliance with the gpl?
happy hacking

Hi cripes,
I'm sorry if you didn't like my last post, but considering the posts above it I felt I had option but to ensure everyone knows that the busybox currently available wasn't mine.
1. I didn't use Nokia's patches at all in 1.10.0svn. That was in the prior versions I made using debian stuff. I simply referenced them and made certain there wasn't anything extra needed. If I actually did use Nokia's diffs then the package wouldn't even be worth releasing. Also, I left the existing dpkg, as there is no need to replace it.
2. I hadn't read this thread to know you were creating a package. I'm too busy with other things to sit here reading this thread. That, and the lack of packaging and a repository are what kept me from releasing the tgz before the necessary infrastructure is in place. I apologize for the fact you went to all the trouble, but don't blame me for it. Had you contacted me via a PM I would have responded.
3. I just want people to know who made the original effort, and that my package is not the other one being referred to. I also want them to know where the package actually belongs [snip]
Besides, to use osso in the package name like some people are doing is incorrect, and in violation of Nokia's copyright since osso is for Nokia's closed source stuff...
Now, instead of me having to respond to posts like this, why don't you just let me get back to coding so we can have some good stuff for these tablets?

Now to the fun stuff: If you want to test more the more complete busybox functionality, I have packaged alternative busybox binaries based on Nokias builds of busybox 1.4.1 for OS2007 and busybox 1.6.1 for OS2008. The OS2008 deb is attached here. That and other binaries are available at:
http://garage.maemo.org/projects/busybox-test
USE THESE PACAKGES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND DON'T BOTHER UNLESS YOU ARE QUITE PREPARED TO REFLASH THE OS IF SOMETHING BREAKS (I haven't had a problem yet). I have placed replicas of the original nokia binaries on the same project page to allow you to switch back if you need to.
For those who would rather build from source, that's cool too. Just "apt-get source busybox", then copy my changelog and config-deb in the attached debian.zip to the debian folder of the busybox source. (NB: the config deb isn't quite there yet, if you dpkg-buildpackage you will be prompted for a few items). You can also download the sources from the svn at the busybox-test project page, which includes the changelog and config-deb.
Next steps:
* testing
* suggestions on applet choice and associated options
* upgrade to a newer busybox version
* hosting/persuade the maemo team to update busybox in the repo and offer a fully fledged package as an alternative install.
EDITS: various clarifications
