BusyBox has been packaged and is ready for inclusion into woody; however, woody is not yet ready for it. Woody needs a new Debian archive section for "installer" packages which do not need to be fully compilant with policy. The busybox package was rejected when I uploaded it since it does not comply with policy (it makes little sense to include docs and manapages for a package that is only used for the installer). Joey Hess is trying to get the new "installer" section into the archive, at which time a number of new installer packages will be uploaded... -Erik -- Erik B.
