[CUWiN-Dev] cuwin media-builder cgi, anyone?

[David Young]

Sascha and I were talking about how futile it is to distribute multiple
CompactFlash geometries, when there are so many brands and sizes for
sale, each with a different geometry.

What CUWiN really needs is a web widget that custom-builds a CompactFlash
image when you plug in the C/H/S geometry of your card.  It would be nice
to have this ahead of the 0.6.0 release.  Will somebody program it for us?

The CGI does not have to run a build from scratch.  It can restart a
finished build from the 'flash' stage.

Security matters.  To protect the media-builder host, the size of the
image should be limited, it should run as nobody, arguments should be
checked carefully.  Builds should run sequentially with rate-limiting,
to keep CPU & disk resources under control.
