upx of brltty

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Upx compresses a brltty binary by jsut over 50%. This looks tempting for things
like boot disks, but there's a very significant potential problem. Upx needs
/proc, and /proc is usually not mounted until somewhat into the boot sequence.

With respect to brlstatx: Upx may not be a reasonable approach unless the
brltty binaries it provides are only intended for use on an already booted
system. If so, this restriction should be very clearly highlighted in the
documentation.
