Would someone be able to generate a proper flash-able Sailfish IMG that doesnt require use of the flash-it script?
Flash it only works on native Linux hosts (i.e under a VM or container it will attempt to unmount the drive thus releasing the controllers shared access with the guest and cause the script to fail) ruling out anyone who is looking to flash on Mac or Windows without a complete script rewrite.
Plenty of people want to give Sailfish a spin but are left out in the cold by this so how's about we just start generating self contained images rather than multi-step scripts that are prone to failure?
The script just creates more headaches than it addresses.
Thanks.
Maybe someone with a linux box generate an 8G flashable image for you?
That would be great but realistically, more generally speaking SF is the only PP distribution that doesn't provide a bog standard img to make testing more straight forward. Even if the script output a img rather than expecting to flash direct to device or SD, this would be enough. I might look into changing the script to do this.
