It would be cool to be able to use the Illume keyboard in both profiles. I make tiny linux builds for use on an 8.4 inch touch screen that is a 4x3 aspect ratio. Ergonomics and fit and finish leave some folks preferring Illume however most people I talk to that use my builds use the netbook profile. It seems to make more sense for how they use their computers.
Its easy to get jealous going from one profile to the next and having to use xvkbd on the netbook side. I wish I was better with building software. Thank you Carsten for instituting coding rules. This makes it easier for mere mortals to install EFL. Sadly unless I have a ton of disk space and use something like reasye17 or easy_e17 I dont get good results due to disro independent deps. I have a T101MT netbook that I can use to build on however I would need a tutorial or a link on how to make packages that I can install on other systems. Once more on Enlightenment_remote calls. I have only stuck with repos for the reason that I am on geode hardware. Its i586 and I have heard that working on a libc6-i686 to build on may cause some problems if I ran the software on i586 cpu with no way to handle Nop instructions. Again I am not all that good with code and dont really know what I am talking about with that statement. So in conclusion does someone have a link on how I can go about building E in such a way that can be installed on another system? My target hardware has only 500mb & 1 gb SSD storage. Should I be concerned about building on 686 and running on 586? And can I assume that all info on the wiki is old and trac.enightenment.org will have all the enlightenment_remote calls documented as well as all available modules?
