By discontinued, do you mean untested/unmaintained? It more-or-less is
already... as experienced recently with the new create_image rule that
caused so many people issues. It mostly affected those who weren't
using build profiles.
The only reason people continue using the old method, is because the
new method isn't documented in the "guides" that are so rampant.
You can *replace* these 3 lines:
HAIKU_IMAGE_DIR = /dev ;
HAIKU_IMAGE_NAME = sda2 ;
HAIKU_DONT_CLEAR_IMAGE = 1 ;
with a single line:
DefineBuildProfile partition2 : disk : "/dev/sda2" ;
(note the name you give it is up to you) and then use the following:
jam -q @partition2
or if you just want to update a build you already have without wiping
the partition (and thus, keeping all apps, settings, data, etc.):
jam -q @partition2 update-all
I just don't understand why people are loathe to change...
