Well, is there a recommended standard for doing this? And a follow-up on allowing for overrides or fix-ups to be done easily? I've done some poking about how to have more data be done as part of factory programming and it's both possible and something that they want to understand what's coming in, and have it be something that's know roughly at the start of the process, rather than the end (so we have some way to go, in terms of conversion in the kernel). -- Tom _______________________________________________ cross-distro mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro
