Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Minimal build for router.

Hi Heiko,

this is an old mail I reply to. It has been of my radar for a long time,
but now I need to rebuild my firewall and I run into some issues again
so I just pick up where I left of the last time.

The change is very straight forward.
I replaced the line that has the rsync in the conntrack-tools script to:

tar cf - doc/*/*.conf doc/*/*.sh doc/*/*/*README | (cd
$ETCDIR/etc/conntrackd && tar xf - ) || exit 1

This does the same but doesn't need rsync.

I have seen that this is fixed. Thanks for that.

I still have this available if you are interested.

Beside that I have some more dependencies I have found that might need
some attention.
perl needs tcp-wrappers for one of the plugins.
Layer7 netfilter patches don't work on a 3.2 kernel

The following options were new in the build run of the prepare script:
X86_32_IRIS
PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING
IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
COMPACTION
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
CLEANCACHE
X86_RESERVE_LOW
OLPC
CRYPTO_DEV_HIFN_795X

During the following day's I might come with more ;-)
