[Commotion-dev] batphone/olsr GUI dev sync

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Jeremy and all,

I would like to try to keep the OLSR Android GUI app that I'm working on
as in sync as possible with batphone, since all of the adhoc/edify/olsrd
infrastructure will be exactly the same.  So far I've been working with
batphone 0.0.7, which seems to be the head of master in git.  But there
is a lot of work in the 'development' branch, some of which looks
related.  Does it make sense for me to switch over to syncing with your
development branch?

Also, some feedback on the command line stuff: currently, in the setup
wizard in 0.0.7 asks for root permission on each step.  I generally do
not grant apps permanent root perms, so that means I have to confirm
granting root perms on each step of the wizard, and probably each step
of the app running.  I propose that this app instead launch a root
shell, then execute commands as root by sending them to this shell.

This way, batphone will only ever ask once for root permission when it
needs it.  We've done this in Lil' Debi and some other apps and it works
well.
