Hi, i have a question related to a picobsd port. For building picobsd images with ssh+sshd+scp, the only way which seems feasible is to use a modified version of the ssh1 port (mods are done in order to build a crunched binary which in turn is crunched again together with the other picobsd apps). I have been thinking a bit on the best approach, and it seems that a feasible one would be to have a specialized port e.g. ports/security/ssh-picobsd with the picobsd-specific patches. As a matter of fact, it might be reasonable to have a ports/picobsd category where one would put this kind of things -- e.g. "small" versions of applications which are in the source tree or in the ports. Opinions ? cheers luigi P.S. for the curious: ssh+sshd+scp crunched together take 190KB uncompressed, versus the over 500KB for openssh and friends using the same method. Another example of a 'fat' app is tcpdump, which (compressed) grew from ~48KB to ~100KB between 3.4 and 4.2 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
