[Bug 2130136] [NEW] Merge busybox from Debian Unstable for resolute

 

Public bug reported:

Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.11
Ubuntu: 1:1.37.0-4ubuntu1
Debian Unstable: 1:1.37.0-6

A new release of busybox is available for merging from Debian Unstable.

If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the
tagging from ['dcr-merge'] to ['dcr-sync'], and (optionally) update the
title as desired.

### New Debian Changes ###

busybox (1:1.37.0-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * udeb config: remove wget applet
    (wget-udeb is used for this for many years) (Closes: #1107392)

 -- Michael Tokarev <mjt@xxxxxxxxxx>  Sun, 08 Jun 2025 00:34:24 +0300

busybox (1:1.37.0-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * d/control: switch from Static-Built-Using back to Built-Using
    (Closes: #1106796)

 -- Michael Tokarev <mjt@xxxxxxxxxx>  Fri, 30 May 2025 20:03:19 +0300


### Old Ubuntu Delta ###

busybox (1:1.37.0-4ubuntu1) plucky; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2090999). Remaining changes:
    - Add busybox-initramfs binary package and initramfs flavour:
      - Add dirname from coreutils to the initramfs
      - Enable the new klibc utility implementations, nuke and run-init
        in the initramfs package; and also enable reboot.  Doesn't yet make
        klibc-utils irrelevant - we still use ipconfig, fstype, and nfsmount
        - but it moves us much closer and should save a little bit of disk
        space.
      - Enable TLS in initramfs flavour of wget applet, requires openssl
      - debian/config/pkg/initramfs: Enable the date applet with the same
        options as the other variants for use in fixrtc and casper scripts.
      - Prefer busybox cmds over klibc cmds where there is duplication.
      - Move zz-busybox to busybox-initramfs to ensure we get links to all
        the tools we need, stop shipping it anywhere else.
      - d/tree/busybox/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/zz-busybox:
        Copy certs and openssl config for the casper+busybox-initramfs case.
      - Add Ubuntu configuration for busybox binaries.
    - test-bin.patch: Move test and friends to /bin.
    - static-sh-alias.patch: Add static-sh alias name for ash, and install
      /bin/static-sh symlink to busybox in busybox-static.
    - d/config/pkg/{deb,static}: Enable chpasswd (needed by LXC).
  * Patches merged upstream, dropping:
    - CVE-2023-42364.patch
    - CVE-2022-48174.patch
    - CVE-2023-42363.patch
    - fix-awk-assignment-precedence.patch
