Hi Christian, I have: - net distro very small (less than 1MB) - minimal distro I guess similar to that you have (but including equinox).
It's something that I planned for Karaf 4.0.0. Regards JB On 05/07/2014 04:06 PM, Christian Schneider wrote:
Hi all, just wanted to share my experiences in trying to make karaf 4 minimal even smaller. Currently karaf 4 minimal tar.gz is about 10MB. With some small tweaks I was able to get it down to about 6MB. I removed equinox (1.3 MB), XercesImpl (1.3MB in lib/endorsed) and some features like the wrapper. I would not really suggest to do all this for karaf minimal but perhaps this helps some people who aim to build a really small custom distro. What we might look into is to remove equinox and xerces from the framework kar and add them later in the two distros. This would allow people to build their own distros without tweaking the framework kar. Christian
