http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_key It is specifically design to allow countries (or schools) to create customied builds *without* requiring OLPC to sign or approve their changes. In exchange, we require the modifications to be restricted to /home so that we've got some hope of successfully diagnosing or updating their builds. I will refuse to sign any build with this patch in it, and I don't feel that Michael has made any case for why it is necessary. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
