Yeah, that _could_ work, technically, but I am afraid it is still a lot more fragile than we can afford at this point. Also, it will take a looong time during the first boot and you can't really do anything in parallel. That's quite a high cost, and I don't think it is acceptable. We are pretty paranoid about boot time here. We could make this is an option, hiding it away somewhere in the Control Panel, say. Hitting the button would boot into a special mode and migrate /usr to the eMMC. But, again, too invasive to get this done before Fremantle has to ship, I would say. The beauty of modifiying packages in the Maemo Extras and elsewhere is that we are not tied to the Fremantle release schedule. If we screw up with maemo-optify, we can quickly fix it. In the worst case, we can simply do nothing until we have something that works well enough. Fixing the Fremantle OS ones it is out is very slow compared to uploading a new version of a package to Maemo Extras. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
