I am happy to observe a 30-day embargo to coordinate with downstream distributions. Please let me know if you need more or less time.

Alpine 3.21: busybox-1.37.0-r13
Alpine 3.20: busybox-1.36.1-r30

0001-tar-fix-TOCTOU-symlink-race-condition.patch « busybox « main - aports - Alpine packages build scripts

@ariadne I'm impressed that cgit just...doesn't show the removed lines in this patch
@endrift it's in aports, so aports tracks patch files, not patches themselves
@ariadne Hence I would expect it to show the whole file. But...it doesn't. It misses two lines.
