Hi, using tmpfs as easy as possible within live-helper would be nice (optional, of course, since we can't know the amount of ram and the image size to build) in order to speed up the build process a bit, but to do that most effectively, the whole build-tree should be in the tmpfs.
since we can't know the current directy before building, and to avoid moving things arround in a hackish way, there's only one solution that i can think of: moving everything except the config into build/, and having build/ on a tmpfs. means, before the change, we have: server4:/home/user# mkdir foo server4:/home/user# cd foo/ server4:/home/user/foo# lh config && lh build server4:/home/user/foo# ls auto binary binary-hybrid.iso binary.list binary.packages cache chroot config server4:/home/user/foo# and afterwards we'd have: server4:/home/user# mkdir foo server4:/home/user# cd foo/ server4:/home/user/foo# lh config && lh build server4:/home/user/foo# ls auto binary-hybrid.iso binary.list binary.packages build config server4:/home/user/foo# cd build/ server4:/home/user/foo/build# ls binary cache chroot server4:/home/user/foo/build# since this is quite a big change for those that do hackish stuff (for those, that are using config/* properly, there will nothing change, since the binaries are put in the same place as before).. ..what do you think about such a layout change?
