I was definately thinking about going that direction. In fact, I talked to Stefan about it at OLS. It wouldn't really have to be a script - Stefan has been thinking about creating a MANIFEST file when we extract the LAR that lists the blobs and where they are located - we could use the exact same format on the input side too: -------------------------------------------- # MANIFEST # Filename pathname algorithm /root/my.payload normal/payload lzma ... bootblock bootblock - --------------------------------------------- (As an example). This might actually be better for buildROM - then each target that builds a blob for the LAR would just echo the line into this file - thats probably cleaner then something ugly like LAR_BLOBS += $(SOURCE_DIR)/$(GEODE_VSA):vsa Which is what I'm doing now.
