[crux-arm] Some interest in Crux-arm64

2018-04-04 Thread Thierry Moreau
a previous experience of re-packaging Crux X86-64 (basically to make a "features-lean" system such that security-wise, the attack surface is reduced). In this new Arm64 project, I might be able to contribute back to the crux-arm.nu contents. Any useful tip, suggestion, or comment?

Hi, as you may have noticed I installed Crux Arm 64 bits on the Odroid C2 hardware. Since I reported on the milestone of GUI-less installation, I had the pleasure to realize that the default "fbdev" X11 driver allows xorg applications built almost trivially. I build openbox, xterm, gvim, ge

Hi Victor, first of all, thanks for the suggestion to build large packages with some swap file arrangements. I used NFS-based swap file with a size of 10GB and everything went well. On 30/05/18 03:41 PM, Victor Martinez wrote: * Thierry Moreau (thierry.mor...@connotech.com) wrote: By any

Hi Victor, I'm basically done with Crux Arm64b on Odroid C2. Overall, the Odroid C2 builds packages at circa 2.75 faster than reported times for other arm native builds (I'm not a fan of benchmarks, so not a firm statement against a specific alternative). For opt/xpdf, I changed a dependency
