What is drawing in compilers like llvm10 and gcc9? We don't want to ship those on the ISO. Developers are most likely connected to the internet and can download them as needed.

LLVM

FreeBSD% sudo pkg remove llvm10
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Deinstallation has been requested for the following 13 packages (of 0 packages in the universe):

Installed packages to be REMOVED:
        llvm10: 10.0.1_4
        mesa-dri: 20.2.3_1
        mesa-gallium-xa: 20.2.3
        slim: 1.3.6_21
        xf86-input-evdev: 2.10.6_6
        xf86-input-keyboard: 1.9.0_4
        xf86-input-libinput: 0.30.0_1
        xf86-input-mouse: 1.9.3_3
        xf86-video-ati: 19.1.0_3,1
        xf86-video-cirrus: 1.5.3_4
        xf86-video-scfb: 0.0.5_2
        xf86-video-vesa: 2.5.0
        xorg-server: 1.20.9_1,1

Why on earth would one need a compiler just to run Xorg?

According to Wikipedia,

Mesa (...) is an open source software implementation of OpenGL, Vulkan, and other graphics API specifications. Mesa translates these specifications to vendor-specific graphics hardware drivers.
(...)
Mesa also contains an implementation of software rendering called swrast that allows shaders to run on the CPU as a fallback when no graphics hardware accelerators are present. The Gallium software rasterizer is known as softpipe or when built with support for LLVM llvmpipe, which generates CPU code at runtime.

So I guess we are looking for a way to use softpipe rather than llvmpipe so that we can get rid of the LLVM dependency.

GCC (solved)

FreeBSD% sudo pkg remove gcc9
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Deinstallation has been requested for the following 2 packages (of 0 packages in the universe):

Installed packages to be REMOVED:
        fusefs-lkl: 4.16.g20180628_3
        gcc9: 9.3.0_2

Number of packages to be removed: 2

The operation will free 283 MiB.

Why on earth would mounting Linux filesystems 1. be so huge and 2. require a compiler at runtime 3. not use LLVM like the above?

Removed it in 3e1bd00, especially since ext filesystems can also be mounted using https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/fusefs-ext2.

Why is binutils so large and what draws it in? Turns out this was also drawn in by fusefs-lkl, so that should be resolved as well.

Perl

What draws in perl5?

db5 (solved)

What draws in db5?

webcamoid -> jackit -> db5

pkg would be a great candidate. Who uses pkg is most likely connected to the internet and can bootstrap it.

To get rid of pkg we would probably need a lightweight replacement for pkg remove and pkg delete since we need those:

ISO/overlays/uzip/furybsd-live-settings/files/usr/local/bin/furybsd-install

Lines 81 to 82 in ea4602d

chroot "${FSMNT}" pkg remove -y furybsd-live-settings

chroot "${FSMNT}" pkg remove -y freebsd-installer
ISO/overlays/uzip/furybsd-live-settings/files/usr/local/bin/furybsd-init-helper

Line 30 in ea4602d

/usr/sbin/pkg delete -fy open-vm-tools >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

	chroot "${FSMNT}" pkg remove -y furybsd-live-settings
	chroot "${FSMNT}" pkg remove -y freebsd-installer

ISOs are too large #191
