I'm not so sure. Maybe it actually _is_ a good idea to integrate (parts of) buildrom in the v3 build process? It would sure make the "user experience" better. The question is how much work this will be. I guess we'd want to change quite a lot of buildrom's inner workings in that case (and v3's for that matter). If so, we should keep buildrom as a separate project in v2, but integrate it completely in v3.
Comments?
I think this is a good idea. Currently the most hard work is not to compile LinuxBIOS, but it is compile and create an rootfs. I used buildroot to create the LBdistro (my dirt hack) and I think buildroot can be integrated as an option to compile a LAB (Linux As Bootloader but we can refer it also as Linux As Bios).
I think it can be checkbox option to call the buildroot and compile linux and all programs.
Uwe.
cheers,
