Hi all,

first of all I am sorry if I got the wrong list. I started to play with MeeGo on
mywork laptop and I don't install things I play with into / but into ~/install.
With the image-creator this is possible with using DESTDIR and PREFIX. This also
meansthat I have placed qemu-arm-static into ~/install and this is where the
first set of problems starts.

I would like to install image-creator with make PREFIX=$HOME/install/meego
and it should install the pythong things, the config files (etc/mic2) into this
prefix. Will such patches be supported? On top of this I would like to change
the python stuff to search in PREFIX/bin for qemu-arm-static or other things.

The second problem, one that I find a bit scary is. I am asked to run the 
creator
as root. On first inspection this is required to play with binfmt, work with the
losetup and to silently disable SELinux support. I find this approach very 
scary.
Could you consider asking the user if he wants to switch off the enforcement
mode?

To summarize. Are there plans to support installing mic-image-creator into
non / locations, are there any plans to run mic-image-creator without root
permissions?
