About

Dropbear is a relatively small SSH server and client. It runs on a variety of Unix platforms. Dropbear is open-source software, distributed under an MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers. If you want to be notified of new releases, or for general discussion of Dropbear, you can subscribe to the relatively low-volume mailing list. With a small memory footprint suitable for memory-constrained environments, Dropbear can compile to a 110kB statically linked binary with uClibc on x86 (only minimal options selected) Dropbear server implements X11 forwarding and authentication-agent forwarding for OpenSSH clients. The server, client, keygen, and key converter can be compiled into a single binary (like busybox) Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space. The multi-hop mode uses SSH TCP forwarding to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts in a single command.

About

pkgsrc is a framework for managing third-party software on UNIX-like systems, currently containing over 17,900 packages. It is the default package manager of NetBSD and SmartOS and can be used to enable freely available software to be built easily on a large number of other UNIX-like platforms. The binary packages that are produced by pkgsrc can be used without having to compile anything from the source. It can be easily used to complement the software on an existing system. pkgsrc is very versatile and configurable, supporting building packages for an arbitrary installation prefix, allowing multiple branches to coexist on one machine, a build options framework, and a compiler transformation framework, among other advanced features. Unprivileged use and installation are also supported. NetBSD already contains the necessary tools for using pkgsrc; on other platforms, you need to bootstrap pkgsrc to get the package management tools installed.
