crtdaydreams: the lengths one has to go to just to remove openssl as a dependency on 6.1 are extreme, something is specifically updating that one line in my .config to renable module signing (which demands openssl) every time I run make
crtdaydreams: it seems like *someone* has modified the Fedora build source tree to override this flag on custom kernel config files
crtdaydreams: and this is just a basic kernel I've pulled from kernel.org and begun gutting all the irrelevant code from
crtdaydreams: i.e kvm, iommu, virtio, all non-x86 arch, random firmware
crtdaydreams: that alone has gutted ~3 million sloc, though after going through the kernel config it's evident there's still loads of cruft that can be scraped off
crtdaydreams: immediate plan tho is to get a working build from it, then go back to shaving off everything not used in the config
crtdaydreams: will share a patchset once I have something <=3mil sloc
crtdaydreams: only 20 mil to go
