I was tossing this stuff around on IRC, and I might as well post it
here, but
I'm thinking about doing one or two things for Kustomizer.

First idea would be to change how it's configured, as it now seems to
not
be configurable at all.

The beginning of the file would contain comments and instruction-
variables
and the end of the file would act on those

# Dillo is a web browser
# Currently broken so recommended tp be e,åtu
INSTALL_DILLO=""
# woosh is also a web browser
INSTALL_WOOSH="yes"

### BEGIN WORK SECTION, NOTHING TO CONFIGURE ANYMORE

test -z $INSTALL_DILLO || {
opkg install dillo
}

test -z $INSTALL_WOOSH || {
opkg install woosh
}

This could also be expanded.

The most common use case is probably to execute kustomizer over ssh,
so maybe a configuration file could be dumped from $HOME to the moko
before chrooting?

Unfortunately this is bash-only syntax, so tho I did it eventually,
it's not
usable unless you install bash first, and I can't even remember where
I
got it from... some google result to some forum with some reference to
some opkg...

A lot of the stuff that was apparently working in kustomizer the last
time
it was used did not work now, or just didn't work for me :/

Actually is not key, sshing into the box is key, so $HOME
configuration
files would not make sense.

Also I heard the only way to mount the FR is over the network, somehow
can't do that as a storage device.

So this is all irrelevant ;)

To sum it up:
Let's do something even better at
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-August/053484.html

Cheers!
