This is sabotage, an experimental distribution based on musl libc and busybox.
Currently sabotage supports i386 and x86_64, MIPS and ARM(v4t+).

Requirements:
- ~4G free disk space
- root access
- usual GCC 4 toolchain
- git
- a bootloader of your choice (extlinux is favored)
- lots of time and a fair bit of Linux knowledge

This system has been built on up-to-date Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, Gentoo, Exherbo and Arch systems.

You can bootstrap your own build from the scripts at 

               https://github.com/rofl0r/sabotage

or use a ready-to-boot disk image either for netinstall or with sets
included (put it on an USB stick, burning a CD will not work), to be
found at:

           http://mirror.wzff.de/sabotage/

You also can netboot the install kernel directly (use pxelinux from
somewhere).

READ THE COOKBOOK FIRST.

Build instructions:  Caveat emptor, this is all pre-alpha!
DO NOT RUN SCRIPTS YOU HAVE NOT READ.

% cp KEEP/config.stage0 config
% vi config
  $K  directory with patches
  $S  where sources are compiled (stage0: ~700MB, stage1: ~2.1GB)
  $R  root file system

% . ./config       # required!

% ./build-stage 0  # build toolchain (~2min on an AMD FX 8core, 75min on ARM Cortex A8 800Mhz)
% ./enter-chroot   # enter $R chrooted, needs root password
% cd /src
% vi config        # set your MAKE_THREADS, etc
% . config
% butch install stage1
# and after that, feel free to install optional packages:
# you can look at what's available using 'ls /src/pkg'

# if you want the default kernel (otherwise you have to build it yourself)
% butch install kernel

% butch install xorg # install everything needed to get xfbdev
% butch install pkg # installs useful things, such as file, git, gdb ...
% butch install world #installs almost everything

Run "butch" and look at the usage information it outputs for further options.
butch uses build templates, please take a look at KEEP/butch_template_configure_cached.txt
to see how it works.

when you're done, exit the chroot and use utils/write-hd-image.sh to create an image file.
this can be directly booted in qemu, to use it in vbox use VBoxManage convertfromraw.
or you can simply copy the rootfs in $R to your medium of choice.

*** RUNNING SABOTAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME ***

The default root password is "sabotage".

as usual, 

% source /src/config

so that butch has its environment variables set.

you may want to generate some sshd-keys for sshd to use; use

% butch install sshd-keys

the sshd itself can be started using /sbin/sshd

if you need dhcp, run

% butch install ndhcp-init

this will create users and chroot for ndchp to use, afterwards you use

% /etc/rc.dhcp start

to run it.

an alternate dhcp client is uclibc's udhcpc,
which can be launched using /bin/dhclient.

otherwise use ifconfig, route and /etc/resolve.conf to configure your static ip.
you can of course put it into a script, and launch it automatically using
/etc/rc.local

for example
% echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf
% ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
% route add default gw 192.168.0.1


NOTE TO CONTRIBUTORS
if you want to add packages, start from KEEP/package.template .
please do not use HTTPS or FTP mirrors.
HTTPS is unsupported by busybox wget, and FTP is a broken protocol from the 70ies
which needs a second data connection (i.e. open port on the client).
this prevents FTP from working when behind a NAT router or socks proxy.
Downloads from git or other source repositories is an absolute no-go.

please use unified diff format  (diff -u) for patches, as this usually allows
to use the same patches on newer versions as well.

since sabotage ships all tarballs when an ISO or HD image is distributed (to
fulfill the GPL), space considerations are a top issue.
so if available, ALWAYS USE a TAR.XZ (preferred) or TAR.BZ2 download URL.
in the former case, xz has to be added to the [deps] section.

it is recommend that you create a git branches for your work:
this allows me to checkout your changes and rebase as i see fit,
and you can easily pull back into your master without getting merge conflicts.

*** SABOTAGE IN USERSPACE or "Co-Musl" ***
this is another mode that lets you use sabotage packages in a custom prefix.

IT IS HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL at this point. so expect some packages failing to build.

(for usage parallel to an existing system, without chroot.)
this mode is not heavily optimized or tested, and builds some stuff that is not really
necessary. however its quite handy to use sw on an existing system without having to
use a chroot.

  cp KEEP/config.local .
  nano config.local # edit paths
  . ./config.local
  ./build-stage u

  # after finished, you can 
  cd $R
  export PATH="$R/bin:$PATH"
  butch install ncurses nano etc etc
