You mean using telnet and vi? :-)

That's an interesting idea, actually... a patch selection screen on the Kobo itself? I didn't think that far. I won't be able to implement that part myself, not right away in any case; haven't figured out the frontend side of things yet.

But that's the easy part. Kobo's busybox already has the necessary tools to create/apply/revert minimal binary patches that do not change size/offsets.

Yes, it'd probably have to track files with timestamps and checksums.
I'm aware of issues; I still think it's worth a try, so I'll see what I can come up with over the weekend.
