Mer images are made using a low-level tool called mic2 (originally the Moblin/MeeGo Image Creator) - it's often (confusingly) called mic.
mic2 uses kickstart files (also known as .ks files) to determine what packages to include and how to configure them.
mic provides several image types but the most useful for Mer are 'raw' or 'rootfs': (FIXME: Is this enough?)
- raw
- this format can be written directly onto a block device such as a usb stick or an mmc device.
- rootfs
- if a device can be mounted and have a filesystem made (eg N950) then writing just the file data is more efficient.
- fs
- a directory tree with the rootfs
Note that some development versions of mic use the zypper package manager by default. Using --pkgmgr=yum is more reliable (19/Jan/2012)
The Tizen project is creating another, third, version of mic, but to avoid confusion (!) it will simply be called mic, not mic3.
- mic2 is part of Mer:Tools
- Mer git repository???
- Upstream???
