linux 4.11-1~exp1 FTBFS on armel. I spent a little while modularising some things that were unnecessarily built-in, but the image size will still be very close to the current limit of 2 MiB. If it grows beyond this we'll lose support for many QNAP models.
It should be possible to reduce the image size quite a bit by changing NAND drivers to modules. I don't know if initramfs-tools is smart enough to include these drivers in the initramfs where needed. It would certainly be necessary to add those drivers to the mtd-modules udeb. It may also be possible to reduce the image size by modularising more cryptographic stuff. The big piece there is cryptomgr (CONFIG_CRYPTO_MANAGER2), which is directly or indirectly selected by most other cryptographic options. So this might be impossible. It also might require changes to cryptsetup to get the right modules included in the initramfs. I'm going to leave further decisions on the size limit and configuration to you. If armel/marvell breaks again and stays broken then I'm going to have to disable it. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway.
