And that wouldn't resolve the real issues with the device which are the RAM shortage and less-than-optimal graphics performance wrt screen size. tar cfz - /var/lib/dpkg | wc -c gives somewhat less than one megabyte on the SDK, and I expect it to be about the same or less on the device (if it indeed had the dpkg stuff there, the product image does not currently). So we are talking about changing a rarely used utility to save less than one percent of the flash space? With modifications to who knows what amount of the packages included? Or is ipkg a drop-in replacement for dpkg, requiring no changes to build environments or the packages themselves? Could I "apt-get source foo" from a Debian repo, compile the package for ARM with an utility like dpkg-buildpackage and stuff it to the device like I can now (from the command line, and if AI would support real debs from it too)? -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
