Agreed; we're on a tight schedule, and there's little value in hunting these bugs when our target platforms are all 32-bit. > We are going to start bringing in the startup scripts to see how to start > X and hildon on the device itself.

Why does it require root? If it's because it ships a pre-built chroot, perhaps that could be built separately (like the livefs image), especially since it will be updated out of sync with the builder. > The other problem is how to handle the initramfs creation.

Nice. Will this be pushed to Launchpad soon as well? What about packaging?

I outlined earlier on the list what I thought were the steps in order to get this done; do you agree with them? Are there any other blockers I should be aware of? One item for which I don't think we have a spec dedicated is the list of existing apps to be found, evaluated, packaged and included in ubuntu-mobile to meet functional requirements. Adilson has begun working on the first stages of this. I think it would be wise to create a spec, if only to hold the list of applications pending, have a place to collect comments, and track the overall status of working through the list (it doesn't need to be detailed). -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
