On second thought, maybe we should clean up the directory
structure at
the top level a bit first. I'm wondering especially about
auto-update hipl-kernel-files
Is this stuff still in use (what for?) and should we keep it at the
top-level?
.. ping .. - anybody?
auto-update:
I think this can be attributed to Tobi. It's unused functionality
and more of a concept of an auto-update mechanism. Tobi, maybe you
can tell a bit more about that!?
This is a clumsy way of creating som auto configuration and auto
update functionality for some routers. It configures the routers at
runtime, hence, only one image is needed for many routers. I would
like to keep it as inspiration for a proper auto config script. The
current way of setting up different routers (creating distinct
firmware images) only works for very small numbers of routers (1 or 2)
everything else is just pain.
We can move this into a subdirectory but we shouldn't abandon it
before the problem of dynamic configuration from one base image is
solved.
hipl-kernel-files:
If at all, these files belong to the HIPL repository. I've never
seen them before, so I cannot tell whether they are redundant,
missing in HIPL or plain useless by now.
Ciao,
René
