+# The packages below should ideally be a subset of the
+# full fso-image.  But unfortunately, the granularity
+# and some of the assumptions of the fso image do not
+# yet permit that.  The gating factor is that this
+# particular image needs to include the necessary stuff
+# so that Qt Extended can run, but not so much that
+# it can no longer fit in the small flash available on
+# the GTA01.  So, in practice this means that we will
+# need some X libs (for dbus at a minimum), but we need
+# to ensure that we limit that as much as possible.
+#
+# (There is little doubt that as the software stacks
+# mature, the GTA01 will need to become SD-card based.
+# Never-the-less, it is desirable to keep this as small
+# as possible for as long as possible.)
+#
+# Note: if packages are _added_ to this image, it is
+# important to also add the -dev versions of that
+# package to the toolchain, if applicable.  In general,
+# _adding_ packages to this file is a bad idea; this
+# image should be a proper subset of the full fso image.
