19.07.x minimum package install

For Developers
1

Hi. I'm trying to build a minimal 19.07.x install. Can anyone please advise what packages can be removed from this list. It will be a fixed ap just running cron and upnp with no additional changes. It will need access to sys-upgrade via web browser as the device can't tftp and dropbear sftp fails.

EDIT: I changed Winscp protocol from sftp to scp and works fine.

PACKAGES="base-files busybox dnsmasq dropbear firewall fstools ip6tables iptables kernel kmod-gpio-button-hotplug kmod-ipt-offload kmod-leds-gpio kmod-mt7603 libc libgcc logd mtd netifd odhcp6c odhcpd-ipv6only opkg ppp ppp-mod-pppoe swconfig uci uclient-fetch urandom-seed urngd wpad-basic

I'm mainly interested to know if busybox can be removed or is it needed for system/luci etc.

EDIT: Here's what I ended up with. Got it down to 3.75mb

PACKAGES="-dnsmasq iptables -ip6tables -kmod-ipt-offload -logd -odhcp6c -odhcpd-ipv6only -opkg -ppp -ppp-mod-pppoe swconfig uhttpd uhttpd-mod-ubus libiwinfo-lua luci-base luci-app-firewall luci-mod-admin-full luci-theme-bootstrap firewall relayd luci-proto-relay"

Thankyou

No. Busybox is an essential part of the system. /bin/sh as an example is from busybox.

Pppoe, then offload... then wpad-mini (default)

Thanks....

@anon50098793 the build fits removing offload and wpad. Could you please take a look at this:

PACKAGES="base-files busybox dnsmasq -dropbear -firewall fstools -ip6tables iptables kernel kmod-gpio-button-hotplug -kmod-ipt-offload kmod-leds-gpio kmod-mt7603 libc libgcc -logd mtd netifd -odhcp6c -odhcpd-ipv6only -opkg -ppp -ppp-mod-pppoe -swconfig uci uclient-fetch urandom-seed urngd -wpad-basic uhttpd uhttpd-mod-ubus libiwinfo-lua luci-base luci-mod-admin-full luci-theme-bootstrap luci-app-upnp miniupnpd"

Really just need to know if luci sysupgrade will still function

Here's the full package build:

Could someone please explain why there is both odhcp6c and odhcpd-ipv6only for ipv6?
