Hello gentlemen,
In the last saturday a new port has been added under sysutils/
category, ports/sysutils/tinybsd. TinyBSD is a tool which was meant
to allow an easy way to build embedded systems based on FreeBSD. It
is based on userland copying, library dependencies check/copy and
kernel build.
We did our best to make the embedded system creation an easy and
specially fast proccess. The main (default) system generates an
embedded system image which is about 20MB in size, which is a very
generic approach, with a number of wired NIC support, and also the
most popular wireless support (including atheros), divert, bridge,
dummynet, firewall, etc; and CPU_ELAN (for soekris devices). If the
"generic" system gets tighten up the final result can be as low as
an 8MB embedded system.
We are giving you this intro to ask you please to test TinyBSD out,
the most that you can, and send every possible feedback regarding
it. The main tinybsd goal is to make embedded systems creation a
process which must be
1 - fast
2 - easy
3 - 100% functional
If you can test it, we would appreciate your thoughts. If you think
any of those 3 goals can't be reached for you, or could be
improved, also let me know.
Thanks for testing
Without having actually tried yet (time hasn't been very permitting
lately), is it conceivable to use this tool to create slim-but-
functional jails? Sans the kernel part, that is?
