This would solve a lot of upgrade issues. I once tried building QtMoko on my Freerunner but since I had to patch the build system, to restart the make process after internal compiler errors at least once per day (by increasing swap and reducing the optimisation level) and didn't finished compiling in approximately two weeks I stopped :-( Jens ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

This would solve a lot of upgrade issues. Sure, but also it would be a lot of additional work. New versions do not contain just new /opt but also changes to init scripts, various settings, removed and newly added packages, new kernel and other stuff. It's also easier if you can fix bugs against one certain configuration of the whole system - that's clearly advantage of distributing whole image. So yes, i would be nice to have debian package, but i cant create/maintain it (because of time constraints). Somebody else would have to do it.

I'm currently building and testing the v15. I hope to have them available in a few hours. I will publish a wiki page with instructions and a message to the list when done. -- Vincent Meurisse ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
