Dropbear ssh server and client compiled

Forum member zzz000abc posted a question about an ssh server:

As I replied there, I did look into this with Quirky Linux back in 2016, see some blog posts:

Just now, I compiled dropbear in OpenEmbedded, for x86_64 and aarch64 and it is now in the package repository, so you can install it via the "petget" package manager, or directly download (121KB):

http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64/packages/compat/oe/dunfell/dropbear-2019.78-r4-nocona-64.tar.xz

Potentially it conflicts with openssh, but has dbclient instead of ssh, and leaves out the scp symlink.

EDIT:
I just remembered, EasyOS Dunfell-series already has 'tigervnc' in its repository. Install via the "petget" package manager. TigerVNC project page:
