In fact, partition layout is a major pain in the ass to get right on ARM. If we want to support a large number of ARM platforms, that would mean the partitioning would be fixed and not user-modifyable anyway. > Danny, Ludo, WDYT?

Genimage images tend to be reproducible btw, so it's kinda nice. --Sig_/AmWyk7ZznehxIJ5q00Wx1JG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAl59ObYACgkQ5xo1VCww uqWGqwgAjKbxU/UpjsfNDMuBulDrVz1R039Nik7EQZCtebxvpZQyQWr0YuTh+k5o Hn1PolJYRXJysIplzmjk6CaG6KETdtyoKuEkFZJeqlRDwGDwGlr5nNlp3UmfXHsX fSIA17D3VncJVuWBB37Vz5vZnB3YvFdFfXI4vVkLkNNWBpRL1RhosuwySZ8x6edQ 6BAbGgI2xEZ0uZY+g/iohxND/CNLIS3DxpCE8dDvJbo/UOOuzmMtQ0ubnWhbIdEy mNMMAqZZv8TrPsXgMLRjDziG/lNudDxKN5+60xgtciF35fWbZzja6WB+zTHm0Bul myYIqvkOjT59hWUC4z3TVIOhm20nuA== =6vWS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/AmWyk7ZznehxIJ5q00Wx1JG--
