OK, I can do that... but still... what if the contents of the image is broken ? Normally, I'd expect the FS image to be mountable, right ? Is there a test of the partition's FS before generating the image ? > > If you don't have access to a JTAG some of the older images will boot > smoothly on the DreamPlug's default bootloader, but I don't recall which > image exactly broke it (I think it was one of the 2012.07* images?). Yeah, that's the point... there doesn't seem to be some documentation about which image works for which hardware in the (debian) wiki, unfortunately. > Other than the changes to Freedom-Maker proper, you'll be able to pull > in the rest of the changes by pulling from the upstream of the projects > living in /home/fbx. For the moment, I'll leave the main system and kernel issues, running the Wheezy image from NewIT, and I'll try and play with the FreedomBox software with "manual" install (as much as aptitude helps ;). > > What information here would be good to put in the weekly image's readme? > I'm not sure each individual README helps so much for a history of changes... whereas a reference page in the wiki would be better, with a matrix of which image, which hardware and/or features are operational. Thanks anyway.
