Actualy, the object of this particular automation is only to capture changes to the
LEAF configuation as it relates to added packages of any type, including weblet
addons. This functionality basicaly mirrors what lrcfg is doing (I have not looked
under the hood of lrcfg, but the result is the same) to automaticly include the
configuration menu's/files for any packages you add. As the process for this is to
copy the package file to the media and then boot the system, this automation only
needs to happen at startup.
There certainly will be other forms of automation within weblet that will be realtime.
Actualy, there is now. If you look at the Weblet Dev Demo (207.202.227.167) you can
see that the source link at the botom of the page gives you all the source files for
the weblet. This script simply gives you what it finds in a few key folders under
/var/sh-www. Any files that are added are then automaticaly included. This is very
simple but does ilustrate the point.
As the weblet is only realy intended for one or at most just a few users, performance
is of very little concern. Not that it is not something to keep in mind, just not a
top priority.
