I added --delete to upgrade-manifest that does delete-behind (handling multiple uses of the same hash in one upgrade). So now it should be possible to do the upgrade using less space. It worked when running on my local machine, but I haven't tried it in a qemu instance yet. However, I gotta leave now, and I won't be able to do any OLPC work at all next week. It would be cool if someone else could play a bit with this, test it a bit more, get the blobs on a public service, test on a real XO, etc. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
