NOOBS portable installer / Pocket-Pi-Pc - Raspberry Pi Development

NOOBS portable installer
a simple program im building allowing users to customize NOOBS, basically a commandline graphical utillity that gives you options to unpack the base of NOOBS, adding OS/'s to the project, format the sdcard and write to sdcard
eventually i will be adding the option to attempt to make unsupported OS to NOOBS.
this project delivers what i have said, its very basic at the moment but gets the job done and is a great place to start off.
also, everything is downloaded from the official raspberry pi website so when they update, thats the software we are getting.

I never thought about that but now its been mentioned yes i will, ill mlre then likely build tonight, its a horrible process, takes a couple hours(building, file transfers, shstem information, tests) but depending on the system and how and if i need to modify it to get complete it succesafully is the concern, the rest of the process should be fine

I have uploaded within the other thread a build of cm13.0 you can try. It would make its use far easier even for myself as I am having issue with trying to flash it all correctly

Are they already noobs compatible?

---

if it is standard img,I can losetup and partx, and than make tgz,txz.the key question is to avoid download from internet every time I recover the system.and not to avoid other linux when recovering if one crashed.

ill make the installer download and store locally for use
theres no way you can make a standard single img file for noobs, its a process of seperating the kernel and the root, allocating the required space to partitions, naming the partitions, mounting the partitions and having the correct format for each partition.
if you dont know much about partitioning, fs formats and sizes of fs then do some research, could get dangerous

---

I do this manually.But I see the kernel and root are already seperated in two partitions in standard img.

Noobs just uses a preconfigured compressed FS with attributes locked to the files, it dooesnt supprt standard .img files only tar.xz files
The tar compresses it to a single files and xz compresses it alot but the downfall is xz can only compress 1 file thats why its packed into a tarball first

---

I mean boot.tar.xz is taken from boot partition in std img file,which is commonly the first partition and just tar xz directly without modification. and it is similar as root.tar.xz.am i right?
