Hi, another topic in the already mentioned xenomai-help thread about PTXdist & LiRE was the possibility to have something like "installation skins".
What I mean with this are -maybe- only menu skins to customize PTXdist
in a way that users who don't know if they need "minimal logrotate" or
busybox with or without chroot are able to install target images from
pre-built binary packages. This would mean to reduce some menu options
drastically, but also to add new, special options ("install demo
scripts+configs -> Erika robot driving along the hall" ;)).
And it would require to have those pre-built packages for the installing
host, not on the target. That's something I still don't understand, if
your ipkg is for installing packages from within the running target
(would sound like the SLIND approach) or if those packages can be used
by the host to prepare e.g. a CF-card image (like we do here every day).
Once this feature became real, our LiRE would be a very, very small
configuration + collection of in-house packages for PTXdist.
TIA for any explanation/ideas,
Jan
