Owfs shared library is quite large (700+ kB) by embedded devices standards. The code for many different bus master and slave devices is compiled into single big .so library. Had it been designed as modular, dynamic-loadable plugins, we could split them into separate packages, allowing user to install only the plugins he needs. It's however possible to enable or disable libow features at compile time. Here are some examples how much space can be saved turning off support for unneeded devices and features: - By disabling USB adapter support libusb and libusb-compat is no longer needed, saving ~70kB of space. Bus masters using usbserial.ko kernel driver don't need this. - By disabling debug messages it's possible to reduce shared library size by 130kB. This patch adds a menu allowing user to select libow features one wants built in: - Bus master support: USB adapters through libusb, i2c adapters, kernel w1 adapters - General features: zeroconf device announcement, debug messages, owtraffic bus reports Default config options preserve previous library configuration i.e. everything is selected except for owtraffic (which was disabled) and kernel w1 driver (whose netlink interface has been broken since 2011).

OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
./scripts/feeds update packages
./scripts/feeds install -a -p packages
