[Devil-linux-develop] problem with latest busybox file

[Diego T. <dt...@co...>]

# gzip -t *.gz

gzip: busybox-1.00-pre4.tar.gz: not in gzip format

if you look inside, it looks like a bzip2 file. someone has renamed it?

and...

# mv busybox-1.00-pre4.tar.gz busybox-1.00-pre4.tar.bz2
# bzip2 -t busybox-1.00-pre4.tar.bz2
root:/data/build/src# echo $?
0

bingo! :)

I'm not so sure about busybox-1.00-pre4 as I'm using busybox
on an embedded linux platform right now. There seem to be to
many changes from pre3 to pre4 that break a lot of things as
it seems :(

Yes but a lot of good changes.
For example finally they have a "devfsd"

There seem to be problems with the new busybox, mount doesn't work 
correctly.

I'm currently reverting back to pre3

As I see on the busybox mailinglist a lot of things seem to be broken
in pre4. So I think pre5 or pre6 would be the best to wait for.
