[maemo-developers] FatELF Re: rpm vs. deb and "universal binaries/packages"

[From: Aldon Hynes]

Christian, (et al)

   I really like this line of thinking.  I can easily see myself with
several MeeGo based systems, my mobile phone, a larger format tablet for
ebook reading, etc., assorted MeeGo based devices in the living room, my
Cable Set Top Box, my digital TV, and my Bluray player.  Add an IVI system
into my car and my wife's car.

   All of a sudden I have half a dozen MeeGo devices that I want to
interoperate in different ways.  Certain apps, I would probably want to
share between devices, as well as different pieces of media, etc.

Yeah, with an application manager that has something like the weave
plugin for firefox: Simply take the list of installed apps and ensure
that another device running MeeGo - regardless of its architecture -
installs the same set of apps.
Basically this is a one line shell command, but there's the need for a
nice GUI nowadays. ;)
Sync this data along with everything else, e.g. configuration of
widgets, and the user experience on all devices is the same, wether
it's a handset, or netbook.
