Message-ID: <20151121192652.GX26951@example.net> X-Mailinglist: alpine-devel Precedence: list List-Id: Alpine Development List-Unsubscribe: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV using ClamSMTP Hello, I would like to make my point heard, the Alpine kernel is built without certain functionality which is both important and inexpensive to provide. The coda.ko kernel module for Debian's 3.2.0-4-686-pae kernel weighs 36416 bytes. This is about .00012 (1/8500) of the size of the Alpine installation ISO. I assume this not a case of a misdirected optimization but rather an omission, merely because Coda is not widely known/understood. I was pleasantly impressed by Alpine's compactness and ease of installation. That's why I am speaking here, to make it usable for me and others as-is, without rebuilding. The omission as reported in the issue 4887 is very cheap/easy to fix, a one-line change in the kernel configuration. What can I do to make this happen?
