Thanks for working on this Ricardo. Maybe we could discuss how we can move the rootstock features missing to live-helper in the long run? I want to avoid us doing long term duplication of effort if there is no real distinct difference in the use cases addressed. Especially since our linaro live-helper produces rootfs'es rather than images now. - Alexander -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
