This is a set of scripts to package a DroboApp from scratch, i.e., download sources, unpackage, compile, install, and package in a TGZ file. The master branch contains the Drobo5N version. It also works on the 5N2 (which is what I test on), as well as the B810N, though I have no way of testing this.

Check the releases page. If there are no releases available, then you have to compile.

Once installed, you can symlink the ssh binary to /usr/bin/ using the following command via command line:

ln -s /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/openssh/bin/ssh /usr/bin/ssh

This will allow the ssh binary to be used systemwide, and is especially useful to be able to use rsync to move files to another server.

First make sure that you have a working cross-compiling VM.

Log in the VM, pick a temporary folder (e.g., ~/build), and then do:

git clone https://github.com/dhomas1/openssh.git
cd openssh
./build.sh
ls -la *.tgz

Each invocation creates a log file with all the generated output.

• ./build.sh distclean removes everything, including downloaded files.
• ./build.sh clean removes everything but downloaded files.
• ./build.sh package repackages the DroboApp, without recompiling.

• zlib: http://zlib.net/
• openssl: http://www.openssl.org/ & https://github.com/kzalewski/openssl-1.1.1 (for backports from v3.x)
• openssh: http://www.openssh.com/ & http://www.ftp.ne.jp/ (for pre-compiled portable source files)
