First of all, you might/might not know this, but you can mount bfs read-only from Linux. (mount -t befs /dev/sd?? /haikuvol) Sorry if this is obvious, I didn't know it. At least for ubuntu I this just worked for me.
A lot of people have been requesting ways to preserve files on the haiku partition when you're building it again. Maybe with this we can: - Specify (with wildcards or so) the paths to preserve in the UserBuildConfig
In the build process: - Automount the destination partition - Save the files to be preserved and zip them up - Build the new haiku and copy to partition - restore the files using a copy actionThe only issue I see with this, is that attributes might be lost, I don't know how accessible they are with befs.
Anyway, just an idea I just came up with. Regards, Pieter
