Rewrote the optware mount script

[fennectech]

Hey you guys i rewrote the optware mount script that used to use sysvinit (never got that damn thing to work) since the kindle uses upstart i created a .conf file
/etc/upstart/optmount.comf

 # /mnt/us/optware.ext3 is the optware filesystem image
   
 start on mounted_userstore
 stop on stopping filesystems
 export LANG LC_ALL
 
 pre-start script
 mount /mnt/optware
 end script
  
 post-stop script
 umount /mnt/optware
 end script

This compleetly replaces the sysvinit script for optware mount and this one actually works!

As written, that script depends on a modification of /etc/fstab.
Which will be lost on every firmware update.
As will the up-start script shown above.

Thats really a non issue one can simply re apply their modification after a firmware update Alot of things dont survive an FW update And to prevent it happening unknowingly they cana simply use one of the update blockers that is common to put in place

My comment was for those people who might think it is a total solution and try to use it without first reading the wiki article you linked to.
