Description

Dropbear is a compact SSH server and client that operates on various Unix-like platforms. It is an open-source program released under an MIT-style license, making it accessible for developers. Its design is particularly advantageous for "embedded" Linux systems, like those found in wireless routers. For those interested in staying updated on new releases or engaging in discussions, a low-traffic mailing list is available for subscriptions. With an efficient memory footprint, Dropbear can be compiled into a statically linked binary of just 110kB using uClibc on x86 architecture, provided that only the essential options are selected. Additionally, the server supports X11 forwarding and authentication-agent forwarding for clients using OpenSSH. Users can compile the server, client, key generator, and key converter into a single executable, similar to busybox, with the ability to disable certain features during compilation to conserve space. The software also includes a multi-hop mode that allows SSH TCP forwarding, enabling users to tunnel through multiple SSH hosts seamlessly in a single command, demonstrating its versatility in various networking scenarios. This flexibility makes Dropbear a favored choice for projects requiring lightweight and efficient SSH solutions.

Description

The Fink initiative aims to introduce the extensive realm of Unix open-source software to Darwin and Mac OS X environments. By modifying Unix applications to ensure they compile and operate seamlessly on Mac OS X—essentially "porting" them—we provide users with a unified distribution available for download. Utilizing Debian tools such as dpkg and apt-get, Fink offers robust binary package management capabilities. Users have the flexibility to either download precompiled binary packages or opt to build everything from source code. The project supplies both precompiled binary options and a fully automated system for building from source. While Mac OS X comes with merely a fundamental set of command-line tools, Fink enhances these tools and presents a variety of graphical applications designed for Linux and other Unix systems. With Fink, the compilation process becomes entirely automated, freeing users from the complexities of Makefiles and configure scripts, along with their various parameters. Additionally, the dependency management system ensures that all necessary libraries are automatically accounted for, streamlining the overall user experience. As a result, Fink significantly enriches the software ecosystem available to Mac OS X users.
