The tarball is two whole megabytes smaller! It would be even smaller if /usr/lib/git-core
were gone - three whole megabytes smaller. But a working git
is useful. Perhaps some of these can disappear... That is for a future release, however :)
C{XX}FLAGS=-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -Os -pipe
This release features an update of all the packages:
baselayout 1 8
busybox 1.33.0 1
bzip2 1.0.8 1
curl 7.76.0 1
git 2.31.1 1
gzip 1.10 4
kiss 5.2.5 1
libressl 3.3.1 1
xz 5.2.5 1
zlib 1.2.11 3
Toolchain packages are no longer installed (considering they're basically useless junk without their very important libs).
Instead of adding a whole other tarball you can download and unarchive to restore functionality, I've just taken advantage of the features kiss
provides. Now simply install $pkg-bin
from the KISS-static/bin
path and you can find gcc
, musl
, binutils
, flex
, and make
ripe for all your needs.
Technically we could probably get rid of xz
and zlib
, but it wouldn't offer up much more space-savings and would basically present a barrier to users who want to use this for more than just a small recovery system.
In order to maintain functioning git
features, /usr/lib/git-core
is the only thing left in lib
. This means that you can still clone this repository and install the bins required to have a system that can proceed with the regular install guide!
