[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#814027: Bug#814027: "ts209" d-i image failed to build due to size

[Werner Koch]

Hi!

What about using a smaller version of libgcrypt for d-i?  My current 1.7
version using standard options has a stripped size of 1.1 MiB.  By using
these options:

  ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode \
      --enable-ciphers=cast5,des,aes \
      --enable-digests=sha1,sha256,sha512 \
      --enable-kfds=s2k,pkdf2 \
      --disable-padlock-support --disable-aesni-support \
      --disable-drng-support \
      --disable-avx-support --disable-avx2-support \
      --disable-pclmul-support 

I get down to a stripped size of the SO of 551 KiB on amd64.

We would need to tweak GnuPG a bit to work with that version.  Right now
it complains about missing MD5 at runtime.  But that should be fixed
anyway.

Would that be a way forward?


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
