I wanted dropbear smaller so the /usr/share/doc/dropbear-0.48.1/SMALL.gz gave a few hints. The attached patch allows /etc/portage/savedconfig/${P}.h to contain a cut down configuration. Derived from uclibc ebuild
Created attachment 104071 [details, diff] dropbear-0.48.1.ebuild.patch
we really need to eclassify savedconfig
Daniel: if you feel like updating 0.50 to use the new savedconfig eclass, you can go ahead and merge it ...
this was merged ...
