Hiya,
I'll let others pick up the issues here (or raise patches/pull request on GIThub) ;) but there is one point that is worth noting that jumped out.
Oh and last but not least (off-topic): It's nice that there is a hotfix
version-
number on the splash-screen, but it would be nice to also see it on tty
when
you disabled the splash. And maybe some obvious place within the filesystem.
The images have always had '/etc/op-version' that is generated during the build process; I would STRONGLY suggest that this file is tweaked with an extra line to show the hotfix variant on the last line.
Something like 'Hotfix: 32 alpha 19' etc. ;).
That would have to be done by the HF installer (and maybe tweaked in the bottom of the base pandora-xfce-image.bb).
If people have any thoughts on the best way to use this file (or anything it may be missing) shout out.
John
