Hi there,
Several people have suggested that we should start providing prebuilt Linaro images for those who can't/won't install and run linaro-media-create (or any other tool that they have to install in order to generate an image), so we're going to discuss that at LDS. If you know of anybody who can't/won't install l-m-c, I'd like to know more about it, so I'd appreciate if you could answer the questions or provide us with some user stories:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Infrastructure/Specs/PrebuiltImages
And if you're interested on this, don't forget to subscribe to

Cheers,

Why can't you guys ship the script within the generic image? Then the user doesn't have to install anything external, and it can run on more platforms then just the latest Ubuntu 11.x.
I know it's been completely rewritten so it's hard to compare directly anymore to my script, but my script currently supports generating sd cards in ubuntu/debian/fedora/gentoo (well those are atleast tested..)

You mean include it in the Linaro image? We could do that, but after you flash the Linaro image l-m-c is only an 'apt-get install' away as it's in the Ubuntu archives since Lucid.

We rewrote it completely in python and now it's no longer a single script file, but it should still run on other distros as long as the dependencies are installed.
If you'd like to see what it looks now, it's in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-image-tools/linaro-image-tools/trunk/fil...
