Hello,
We have some kind of similar setup in which we split our root file
system and the customers filesystem. In runtime the customers filesystem
is mounted on a fixed point (/opt). Off-course we have designed this
separation from the start, we have 2 separated filesystems. For the
second filesystem you can use just another ptxdist configfile. I don't
know whether you can merge 2 file system images together with ptxdist.
But for this purpose a simple script can automate this.
Another approach can be to support a list of configfiles in stead of
only one. This will give you a single image file which was what you 'v
been asking for in the first place.
Are there any plans to support a list of configfiles?
Kind regards,
Bart.

Hey all,
The projects I use Ptxdist for have grown in size over the last few
years, they now include mono, gtkwebkit, boost, clutter, gtk3 and all
the Xorg stuff. That means it now takes more than 2 hours to compile
it from scratch. The machine is not the fastest (only 4 core 3GHz) but
even if it was twice as fast it would still compile over and hour.
So I am looking for a way to prevent a full rebuild on every project
release. There seem to be some features in Ptxdist that should allow
this, but I could not really figure out how to use them.
What I would like to do is this;
1) Build an OS with all the Xorg, mono, gtk, etc. stuff and version that.
2) build my own applications.
3) combine the results from step 1 and 2 into an image for flashing
4) goto 2
Is it possible to do this with Ptxdist and if so, how ?
TIA,
Erwin
