Ok thanks for the update. Hopefully we will hear from him soon, not |
| 14 |
sure if the not having a public CVS for you both to work within has |
| 15 |
been a problem or if he's just been real busy. |

sadly no I do not. have any creative ideas on how to handle this part |
| 27 |
other than reviewing, trial and error while testing the ebuilds 1 at a |
| 28 |
time. Some for example will have bash only commands and expressions in |
| 29 |
the pkg_postinst(), pkg_preinst() that's going to fsck our worlds up. |
| 30 |
In such cases I see no way around that other than to provide our own |
| 31 |
init script and sometimes conf.d/init.d replacements. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
iggy has been working on the backend for the baselayout-lite as _pre2 |
| 34 |
and should have a bit of the framework we will want for our scripts in |
| 35 |
place. If you all done with the tbz2 tool perhaps you could check that |
| 36 |
out and help there towards pre3 with how the other new tools will play |
| 37 |
in if you are still wanting to pitch in and help. :) |

Side for those that think smaller is better and I don't know where else |
| 40 |
to say this. But if your not using java and will never be on your |
| 41 |
embedded devices you can save about an extra 48 bytes per every |
| 42 |
ELF DY_DYN and ET_EXEC file by stripping the .jcr section. |
| 43 |
So together with the .comment and .jcr you can save about ~300 bytes. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
# grep STRIP /etc/make.conf |
| 46 |
PORTAGE_STRIP_FLAGS="--strip-unneeded -R .note -R .comment -R .jcr" |
