Blueprints - for Alpha2

Planned changes for Alpha2

  • MIRs for x-loader and u-boot variants for omap3 and 4
  • MIR for jasper (image repartitioning/resizing tool for first-boot on preinstalled images not filed yet, needs code testing and optimization)

Planned *intrusive* changes for Alpha2

  • debian-cd merge for preinstalled images
  • activation of livecd-rootfs changes
  • at best guess, looking for an initial merge onto antimony of the debian-cd, and ubuntu-cdimage scripts by the end next week, or the beginning of the week after that.
  • preinstalled images will be bzip2 compressed by default, and use a filename of $(CODENAME)-preinst-$(PROJECT)-$(FULLARCH).img.bz2.
    • - Compression will be configurable on/off for images, with it defaulting it to on for preinstalled images due to the size.
