Well, excuse me for being purposefully dense here, but isn't every device 'limited' in the end? :-) The question is just "Is it big enough to support dpkg+apt, or isn't it?" I think the 770 is big enough. Using dpkg-apt is the low risk route for me. Optimizing can come later, if needed. (Yeah, I know, the whole computing world would be so much better if people wouldn't be so wasteful with hardware resources, but hardware is still advancing so fast that there is no time to spend optimizing old shit while the new hardware already begs to implement the new shit. :-) Once the hardware explosion stops, I'm sure people will start optimizing...) > It might be interesting to compare the memory footprint of ipkg+data > with apt+data. Yes, definitely. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
