The dependencies for cryptsetup can be loaded over the network, so size doesn't matter as much. But for the netboot image (which downloads components over the network), we have to include gpgv in the actual debian-installer ramdisk because we need to verify the APT signature before we can download anything. On an ARM device I'm trying to support, we only have 4 MB space for the ramdisk. > is it possible to reduce the size of libgcrypt20-udeb itself? > Alternately, we could try building gpgv-udeb with static linkage and see > if that lets us cull unused parts of gcrypt to make the overall package > smaller. Yeah, we can definitely try that. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
