My gut feeling is that this is not feasible in the short term, and not good enough for the long term. It is not feasible in the short term since it likely requires many iterations of the OS itself in order to get this to work reasonably well, and OS iterations are unfortunately just too damn slow. That's my feeling at least, and I was looking for a 'solution' that didn't require changes to the OS itself. (Incidentally, we shouldn't have made the /opt -> /home/opt symlink either, we should just have 'homeified' packages to /home/maemo. The symlink has caused more than its share of problems...) Now, in the long run, I hope we do not have to do any of this. The rootfs should just be large enough, either by putting it on a single big partition, or by combining multiple partitions transparently with some kind of unionfs, lvm, or by just mounting /usr from a second partition. This allows us to stay compatible with the rest of the world, and is what common sense dictates. (The current plan is to have one big partition for /, but only for Harmattan.) _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
