To reduce size of main iso why not move all /usr/include which is the headers of various Arch packages to 05-devel.xzm?
they need the dev XZM to compile so no harm there but not sure if we need to adjust the install scripts?
As you know I have currently a fail to re-pack the core for something else so don't have time to check my own suggestion.

Currently all headers are exported into 05-devel.xzm. You can get it from a command line with: get-develTo reduce size of main iso why not move all /usr/include which is the headers of various Arch packages to 05-devel.xzm?
Francois here is also a script: vbox-build which will download and build vbox for you. I had some problems with the resulting module though. It must be missing some files as when started (on next boot with module) vbox maxes out cpu. I haven't gotten around to the guest addons as yet.

vbxox-builder permitted the production of a functional VirtualBox-5.0.10-k4.3.0-x86_64-1prt.xzm. I have used it to look at an already installed vdi.
There was a small error message that did not seemed important for the process:
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

Is it too early to ask for functional base and xorg on which to build other desktop environments? xorg will not boot if I remove lxde and replace it with xfce4, which was an easy task, with some previous edition of nemesis.

Re: Suggestions
Check out the file /etc/ld.so.conf and see if it contains /usr/lib/mesa
If not then add it and run ldconfig then try to start your desktop again.
Removing all modules above 002 should boot you into an openbox DM with an xterm popup after boot, ready for installin whatever you wish. Future releases will try to accomodate those that want basic apps included and those that want to roll their own. I will include an 'apps' module with the desktop so users can remove it and install their own preferences.

Rather than pollute your bug thread with my assertion that your Arch XZ openssl was incorrectly compiled to support ssl2 & 3
I will post here the result of my second opinion.
In case you do not run a server, or more importantly don't want to reveal to the public what security tools you run to harden your server, let me introduce you to unSpawn who is one of the main devs for rootkit hunter. He is also the Moderator of the security forum for LQ.
Here is his advice and my test results are below his.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... ost5457056
In case you don't trust me 8) and are frightened of click bait
Here is the full output of my re-compiled openssl v 1.0.2d test
In case it is not obvious or equally importantly to assist other members who read this post, the key factors to look for are
A zero bytes were transferrerd in handshake and
B for sslv3 no cipher was found
No cipher was found is proof sslv3 was disabled at compile time.
My previous private message on this matter should be dismissed as a bad test. I am willing to give you another pm on possible build script but appreciate you are very busy bug hunting other matters so this can wait until you are ready for a new iso?
cheers and thanks for reading

Re: Suggestions
Nice work. As far as bug hunting goes, this is probably one of the more important ones. Please do send the PKGBUILD if you have one ready. I will probably recompile a few apps to get rid of non-essential deps.

In one of your recent posts you write
order is mirage python
lets pretend mirage depends on python.
so is there a problem here?
would the answer be to always bundle and then risk having some duplicated dependencies?
In one of your recent posts you write
Lets pretend I have not bundled which is currently optional...but lets pretend there are only 2 packagesThe order is: base/modules/extramods/rootcopy
The order is alphanumerical.

Porteus modularity is unique... 8) We can keep showing the rest how it should be done. Forget upstream... let's start a revolution...

@ brokenman... as they say "the proof is in the pudding". Take it for a spin... do the "deprecation".
If you like what you see... maybe it's a winner.

Basic environment:base.xzm and xorg.xzm
I am working from vbox, is this ok for you? This really makes my life simpler.
Without lxde.xzm
- /usr/lib/mesa was installed in /etc/ld.so.conf
- removed lxde.xzm
- the result is that the booting of the os stops after booting the modules.
live system is ready now -starting porteus.
With lxde.xzm I get the same result.
