SSH server should be included

same here. My 1st step is to install openssh-server and x11vnc.
It starts to be boring.

Naïvely implemented, pre-installing openssh-server would result in a
cloned ssh host key on every board, so we should take care to avoid
that.

It seems appropriate to have a remote login access to the boards by default.
openssh-server is a natural choice and is generally provided on BSPs.

What's your concern?

Is it acceptable to have openssh-server installed but disabled by default?

It is for sure appropriated, but only if we make sure we don't deploy
the same ssh host key on every image.

Can you check if the key is generated during build time? If we manage
to generate the host key during boot we can for sure include the
package.

Key is generated during install time. Init script assumes that keys are available.

The concern is about size. headless is small start for building products on top ... not for developing products (thats the developer image) .. we refused btrfs-tools from headless ... no development convenience should be in headless ... all that should go to developer or other higher up images.

note .. .the comment above is only true if headless is base for our nano image.

found out that nano is not using headless anymore.

Anyway, found out that headless is base for LEB !!

LEB is by definition a clone of upstream distro builds/product with linaro optimizations on top.

Development tools are not qualifying for linaro optimizations.

So either move LEB away from headless, or don't add dev tools to headless.

Thanks!

reverted.

Tom, can you make sure the same change applies to the meta packages?

updated meta package with change reverted submitted to overlay ppa.

Thanks Tom.

Closing as Won't Fix as we first a way to generate the ssh host key during boot time.
