Well, it does not skip partitioning and formatting. It just allows to select which rootfs is going into which partition. Maybe we should add an option to makesd? It should: * skip partitioning and formatting * just mount existing partitions * wipe out those which are selected by the -f option * and load a new roots and optionally a kernel+modules+config-patches Would really be a useful feature. > >> The problem is that we don't have enough good and maintained rootfs images >> to be installed by makesd. >> >> * QtMoko isn't maintained and maintainable.

If you can provide a working qtmoko.tbz for the server we can update makesd to load and unpack it. > >> * AFAIR, Replicant needs some additional installation step. > > Well it is also just a tarball (for 4.3). > For working with recent kernels, Replicant 4.3 needs > 1. a kernel with android stuff and hw voice routing > either backport the voice routing stuff to 4.9.4 or > have 4.10 replicant compatible (which seems to be more than > just adding the patches from the android stuff. > 2. configuration to use that hw voice routing > 3. for newer modem firmwares: AT+CLVL and ignore AT_OPCMENABLE=1 ERROR > responses. > >> * LXDE and XFCE4 exist, but are not well configured to be used as a phone UI >> at all. > > We have illume / e17.

So we just need to add some more keywords to the download database. And put tarballs on the server... BR, Nikolaus
