Not going to argue with that of course, correctness is what matters here not friendliness. And someone who runs an ISP definitely knows better than a newbie. Trying to stick to the topic of the post what I did in a test bed was to apply the cookie trick on a chroot environment after doing a CVS checkout of ports. Then you build the software you need to include in your image and get a detailed list of the files you need to deal with. The following script when run in the chroot and adapted from Chris script can be run against the output of the cookie trick to generate a final list. I am sure the script can be improved as well... #!/bin/ksh list="$1" distfile=`pwd`/$1 echo Procesando $distfile mandir=`mktemp -d /tmp/mandir.XXXXXXXX` manpages=`mktemp /tmp/flashdist.XXXXXXXX` TA=`mktemp /tmp/flashdist.XXXXXXXX` TB=`mktemp /tmp/flashdist.XXXXXXXX` while read i; do test -z "$i" && continue if [ ! -f $i -a ! -h $i -a ! -d $i ]; then echo $i NOT FOUND notfound=1 elif [ -x $i ]; then lib=`ldd $i 2>/dev/null | egrep 'rlib|rtld' | awk '{ print $7 }' | sort -u` for z in $lib; do if [ ! -f $z ]; then echo "$z NOT FOUND (dependency of $i)" notfound=1 else echo $z >> $TA fi done fi if echo $i | egrep ^/usr/local/man >/dev/null; then xx=`dirname $mandir/$i.gz` if [ ! -d "$xx" ]; then mkdir -p $xx fi gzip -9c /$i > $mandir/$i.gz echo $i.gz >> $manpages fi done < $distfile egrep -v ^/usr/local/man $distfile >> $TA sort < $TA | uniq > $TB cat $TB | sed s/^.// > lista.out
