I think that Timo wanted a debian repo that could have been put to a sources.list and installed with apt-get. Single debian package that would be downloaded via web page and installed to host with dpkg (after click-through license agreement) is IMHO quite pointles because then it would require one step more to use the flasher. On the other hand if at install phase license agreement would be enough to satisfy legal issues it could be provided by debian repo. Then if user disagrees with the license installing would fail or something. I'm not sure that this would satisfy legal issues but would be doable from technical point of view. Of course using dpkg-deb to package would mean that user can access the binary without accepting the license ;) -- Valtteri Rahkonen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rahkonen.org +358 40 5077041 _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
