I'm just an .ISO user with occasional updates, but regarding the latter it doesn't feel sane to have a ~42 MB file tree laying around for a tool that itself consists of 50 KB C code. I haven't actually tried it yet, but i gave it a fivteen minute quick shot and could compile only start-stop-daemon.c on Crux 3.1 by applying the attached hacky diff. Doing something a little bit more sane shouldn't cause that much worries given that both Debian and Crux are Linux. Unless the plan is to use more tools from dpkg, of course...
no, nothing planned in that direction. Steffen, thanks for your offer to maintain something that allows us to build start-stop-daemon without downloading the whole dpkg sources. If you have a final patch let's talk about the best method to maintain it. Greetings Juergen
