Agreed. > Do you think it can be made a generic dh_* like tool that handles this > automatically?

After a discussion on #maemo, it seems something might have to go in /etc/event.d and I tricked myself into thinking the mount happened at boot. > Did you do any kind of upgrade tests?

This should work as we're not replacing anything with a symlink (the big problem with upgrading an existing install). > I also suppose that this implicitly moves files from other packages to > /opt/python2.5 ? E.g. from python-hildon, python-gtk2 etc. ? There are two things we probably have to do: 1) Install /opt/python2.5/lib/... using dpkg. 2) Move anything left in /usr/lib/python2.5/ manually after install. Future installs of something like python-hildon will be into the bind mount, and so go to the right place automatically. maemo-optify will be updated to not touch anything which depends on Python if we do this, so Python libraries will continue to install into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages. It's just that this will now be on the eMMC. > What about the /usr/bin/python2.5 binary (which takes some MB) did you > move it to /opt too? No, I didn't try that. Do you think a symlink should work for that?
