Agreed, it should be a separate script. Something like 'testdrive' that is the 'UI' that downloads the components, creates the qemu image, etc. > However it might not be a bad thing to have a separate script that asks > those questions and just downloads the components, particularly if that > script could be data driven and easy to maintain. It should be easily data driven. That datafile could contain all of the information required for the questions above. And with the right packaging, upgrades to linaro-testdrive will continually add support for new platforms and boards.
