Yes, that what i also came up with after some thinking. The only issue: This may take some time. I e.g. have ~150MB in that directory. The user may think the installation hangs if i move that much data. So some dialog has to be presented to the user.

I don't think it's such a big problem: in the post-install script of the updated applications we can have a test that checks if the old tile directory exists (and is a regular dir, not a symlink) and if so copies all the tiles into the new location, and then removes the old dir and makes it a symbolic link to the new location.

If it is the package that is the "final straw" that pushes a user to 100% full filesystem, next time they boot, their system will be bricked. This has happened to *many* users with a variety of packages (I don't know of any cases of it happening with yours, but it can happen with any package that writes to the NAND). There are lots of reports of people bricking due to full NAND on talk.maemo.org, for example. -Jeff ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I'm not proposing a different naming scheme: the one you osmgpsmap uses is fine, what I don't like is the base dir used by ecoach: IIRC, it's storing the tiles under /home/user and not on the 32GB flash (which is /home/user/MyDocs/).

My gut feeling is that this is not feasible in the short term, and not good enough for the long term. It is not feasible in the short term since it likely requires many iterations of the OS itself in order to get this to work reasonably well, and OS iterations are unfortunately just too damn slow. That's my feeling at least, and I was looking for a 'solution' that didn't require changes to the OS itself. (Incidentally, we shouldn't have made the /opt -> /home/opt symlink either, we should just have 'homeified' packages to /home/maemo. The symlink has caused more than its share of problems...) Now, in the long run, I hope we do not have to do any of this. The rootfs should just be large enough, either by putting it on a single big partition, or by combining multiple partitions transparently with some kind of unionfs, lvm, or by just mounting /usr from a second partition. This allows us to stay compatible with the rest of the world, and is what common sense dictates. (The current plan is to have one big partition for /, but only for Harmattan.) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Hi,
it's likely wait too late for such a question, but why doesn't just /opt/bin,
/opt/share etc exist with the system looking into those paths as well?
Noone would have to care about optification then, no symlinks would
be required and most packages could just be optified by "configure
--prefix=/opt".
I must be missing a very obvious thing that makes the current solution
better/nicer/whatever.

The *intent* seems to be that installing an application shouldn't take up more than 500KB of the rootfs (your Python example on the package page is specious, BTW, as Python is now optified).

Any limit that includes dependencies will simply not work as there is no guarantee (except with the rare exception where the developer is maintainer of ALL the dependencies as well) what amount of space will be used on the NAND. Different versions might have different optification rules, they might grow or shrink, include additional dependencies of their own, etc. A source of misunderstanding might be the wording of the requirement: The application or its dependencies ignore the recommendation to use the eMMC to install as much files as possible, filling the root partition with 500kb or more.

" It does not say that the _sum_ of all dependencies has to be below 500k. This rule that the sum of all components also has to stay below a certain limit is new. Osm2go is below 500k and so is the goocanvas it depends on. Now this guy is talking about the fact that the sum is over 500k.

Who exactly is "you" in your sentence? According to the ChangeLog, 500k has been listed at http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist since Oct 22nd, 2009.

Re: New optification issues in extras-testing
Hi, sorry, the link was truncated. I am talking about: http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-fd66da42f17511dea9eb9b28404387138713 Additional info: There already is a version in extras that is exceeding these new limits. The new version fixes some bugs. So the new version gives no disadvantage over the version currently in extras. Delaying it just prevents the bug fixes to reach the end users.

New optification issues in extras-testing
Hi, i have just been instructed to reduce the size of osm2go _incl._ its depending libraries to under 500k: http://maemo.org/midcom-permalink-fd66da42f17511dea9eb9b28404387138 Guys, i really hate the fact that you come up with new rules every three days. I have already had complains about "doesn't look nice enough", "won't run on maemo6" and now this. Please either a) make the all-libs-together-have-to-stay-under-500k an explicit rule for extras and i'll consider following that rule, or b) just delete that thumbs-down if it's not appropriate and make clear that it's not required that all components together stay under 500k Till ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
