Well, however the name of this changeset is "fix unpacked fs path" which 
is exactly what it does, but not what I was speaking about: I'd like 
that $path may be used also to access *packed* fs in subdirectories. 
Something like this

 fi

with documentation saying that loram=<device>,<dir> is used to specify 
the device where is the <dir> which contains both compressed filesystems 
and the fs/ directory for uncompressed filesystem (case build-loram 
cdrom) or only compressed filesystems (case build-loram smallcdrom)

Thanks

I understand that testing cooking is following a fast moving target (I 
leaved Slax because it was a one man project and get frozen!). Not sure 
what is the best way to do so, even if mailing list is the best thing to 
use, any advice is welcome: I use SliTaz system built only a few days 
before with tazlito pack-flavor && tazlito get-flavor && tazlito 
gen-distro && tazlito build-loram and thought it was enough to be up to 
date. Perhaps I am wrong, for instance I use a cache of *.tazpkg and 
that may prevents me from using the lastest version available ? ( I 
didn't see sub-version numbering for identifying changes  only on 
packaging and not on upstream version, example emacs-23-2 recent update).
Because tazlito is so important, every time before using it, I will 
always get the latest version from hg and see if my patches are not 
needed any more.

Ph.L.
