Currently the minimal installcd iso ships a full copy of samba. This is the largest package shipped on the whole cd, at over 100MB (uncompressed). This is pulled in due to USE=acl on cifs-utils. USE=acl also forces USE=ads which brings keyutils, talloc, and mit-krb5. I don't really think that acl/ads support for cifs on our minimal iso is important enough to justify the added size. With "net-fs/cifs-utils -acl -ads" in package.use, the minimal installcd iso shrinks by ~35MB. If there's some vital use-case for acl/ads on cifs, I'd be interested to hear it =) Thanks!
At the present time, releng uses a stock gentoo profile and I don't think we modify it at all. I'm fine with changing that, but do we really want to do that? Personally for the livecd I think it is perfectly safe to do so.
We are already using portage_confdir on the install-cd, but iirc, I added it to be able to workaround some blocks caused by mod-utils / module-init-tools. $ grep portage_confdir releases/weekly/specs/amd64/installcd-stage* releases/weekly/specs/amd64/installcd-stage1.spec:portage_confdir: /release/releng/releases/weekly/portage/installcd releases/weekly/specs/amd64/installcd-stage2-minimal.spec:portage_confdir: /release/releng/releases/weekly/portage/installcd I've been thinking about this bug for the past 2 or 3 days. I guess we can just use a full-featured confdir and start picking which use flags to use. I do feel a bit bad about doing it after I poked Patrick so many times about the cifs-utils / samba blocks and he was so helpful about fixing the blocks / use flags deps. @releng: opinions?
