(autotools/configure not supported in MADDE). Is it allowed to have symlinks in 'data.tar.gz' in debian file ? If so, then it would be pretty easy to tune MADDE:s 'dh_fixperms' (which is written from scratch for MADDE environment) to move most(*) files to /opt/maemo/* and make symlinks from their original places. Although current tarlisted supports only 99/155 filename lengths then. (*) not those copied by dh_installdirs etc. Well, this is a quick note; I did not follow the optify-thread for hints about other problems this might bring up. > Optification was a very late "feature" and getting software to run on > the device quickly was a goal while SDK or device modification were > not possible in that short time frame.
