Do you mean the whole busybox thing? If so, please do not put it into mingw.git. Rather, start a busybox.git project (I saw that you have already some projects on repo.or.cz, so it should be easy for you.)
No, I don't port the whole busybox (too big, too difficult). I extracted stuffs that need to run shell scripts (mainly coreutils and ash) and put them in my mingw tree. Just wanted to push it if you wanted to try.. maybe later. -- Duy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
