 hexa | right, but why does the ISO only become 38 MB larger I don't understand | 15:21:03 |
 emily | I don't fully understand the results you're getting but it might just be compression | 15:21:08 |
| hexa | possibly | 15:21:15 |
| emily | but like, openconnect is pulling in GTK 3 | 15:21:23 |
| emily | if we had GTK 3 on the minimal ISO already that's uh… | 15:21:27 |
| hexa | bad | 15:21:45 |
| emily | (I guess we probably do now that I say that…) | 15:21:45 |
| emily | it pulls in GTK via… https://github.com/stoken-dev/stoken | 15:22:02 |

| emily | probably works, but no idea if we reliably get openconnect into the path when the plugin is enabled | 15:45:05 |
| emily | or if the plugin even uses this helper | 15:45:11 |

| hexa | so yeah, still need to check if this makes it work | 15:48:11 |
| hexa | not super fond of the pname lookup, but 🤷 | 15:48:33 |
| hexa | it does allow some more cleanup though, because the module does some stuff unconditionally for plugins | 15:54:22 |
| hexa | like create /var/lib/misc for dnsmasq leases!? | 15:54:44 |
| hexa | though that is probably unrelated to plugins | 15:54:59 |

| hexa | and sure enough they do use that path https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aimp%2Fdnsmasq%20%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fmisc&type=code | 15:57:01 |
| emily | does it really use dnsmasq out of the box? | 15:58:08 |
| hexa | without openconnect i'm down to +9 MB | 15:58:30 |
| hexa | we probably won't get nm for free, but it will be super cheap for a lot of UX gain
| 15:58:36 |
| hexa | probably when you set up an AP | 15:58:41 |
| hexa | or some form of connection sharing | 15:58:46 |

| emily | seems totally fine. ModemManager should be free since it's already a NM dep | 16:03:00 |
| hexa | have an option to put a thing in a list | 16:03:02 |
| emily | time to install over 5G | 16:03:05 |
| hexa | arch makes modemmanager an optional dep | 16:03:15 |
