Here's a portion (i.e. not the whole thing) of my Additional Files section that I stick at the bottom of kobopatch.yaml. In addition to the custom hosts file, I use frostschutz's miniclock and disable sickel mods, geek1011's ld_preload hack to prevent nickel from scanning .folders (there's now a Kobo Reader.conf setting that can do the same thing), tshering's Kobo Start Menu 09, JSWolf's updated hyphenation dictionaries, old Kobo fonts, among other things.
The format is place-on-your-local-file-system : place-on-the-kobo-file-system. For me, I stick everything in a folder called 'root' in kobopatch's src directory (i.e. kobopatch/src/root/) on my computer, but you can put it anywhere you want.
To make things simpler on me, I mimic the Kobo file structure locally, which is easy to do: just extract all those KoboRoot.tgz files from all the mods and merge them. That way, you can keep the same structure when writing the Kobo file paths. Then you type in one entry per file (i.e. the tedious part that you only need to do once) and run kobopatch which will bundle them all into one update file. If a mod gets updated, just extract it and copy it over your local file archive and run kobopatch again to generate a new update file to flash. |
thanks. I am very sure I am not ready for all of this. keeping it for later.
