Ok, but I don't think we should use the snapshots repo for this, it's too
risky; we should have a dedicated repo for release.

How big is this package? Maybe it's better to have it as an external opk.
It would also be nice to have a minimal UI integrated in xbmc for
installing packages. This shouldn't be too difficult to implement as a
python xbmc addon.

What do you mean?

Installator has *a lot* of corner cases (especially with dual boot), and
it adds yet another boot path (grub-based) to test and debug. Using
extlinux instead of grub may simplify things.

Definitely, maybe have a look at other distros for hints.

- backport a few changesets to ease hdd install:

http://hg.openbricks.org/openbricks/rev/ad3c88dcdc8a
http://hg.openbricks.org/openbricks/rev/3034d501b5f2
- investigate the sound issues on pandaboard reported in the forums
- there are a couple of outstanding issues on tegra2 (resolution
detection, audio), should be easy to fix
- add a script to automate pandaboard sdcard creation
- add a script to automate tegra2 sdcard creation
- (wild hope) make a working omap3 build
