Not sure what happened after that update?? Did just do a comparison between two of the files in snapshot directory. https://busybox.net/downloads/snapshots/ busybox-20260312.tar..> 2026-03-12 00:20 2.5M oldest busybox-20260411.tar..> 2026-04-11 00:20 2.5M newest diff -r a b | grep "<\|>" | wc -l 64 So, not a huge number of changes, but there are updates? comparing 1.37 bz2 file to 1.38 git bz2 file has about 18,000 lines of difference. So the snap shows are getting some updates? diff -r a b | grep "<" | wc -l 24 diff -r a b | grep ">" | wc -l 44 So Project isn't dead. Perhaps whoever was doing the main web page is no longer active?? Did send emails to the emails listed. Both gmail and googlemail?? No responses. Have been testing and the regular git pull gives errors. git pull fatal: read error: Connection reset by peer While on using https seems to be solid. ./gitpull2.ch Nothing changed (Already up to date). difference in .git/config 7c7 < url = git://busybox.net/busybox.git > url = https://git.busybox.net/busybox git pull uses first line. gitpull2.sh has git remote set-url origin https://git.busybox.net/busybox before the git pull Full script (But untest since haven't had a pull with change) cat gitpull2.ch cd /home/msetzerii/Downloads/busybox git remote set-url origin https://git.busybox.net/busybox # Save the current state PRE_PULL=$(git rev-parse HEAD) # Pull (silencing the progress noise if you want) git pull > /tmp/gitpull_out 2> /tmp/gitpull_err EXIT_CODE=$? # Check the new state POST_PULL=$(git rev-parse HEAD) if [ $EXIT_CODE -ne 0 ]; then echo "Pull failed with code $EXIT_CODE.

Will patches are being done, the main page is not being correctly updated. Thanks for the reply. > сб, 11 апр. 2026 г. в 09:54, Michael D.
