Ok, so just so we understand whats going on this is what we plan to accomplish

1) add oem recovery to initrd. The init script will check for /recovery version of recovery and if not found unpack the oem version in initrd. This way they can install happy from within recovery .. (sexy) ? sound good

2 ) people can chose to upgrade to a full recovery. This means we can deploy this via update.tgz. Ill make an update folder on autobl so we can have some basic updates already.

3) I'm almost done with multi module support but im saving that for possible LK. This way we no longer put kernels in the nbh .. just lk and oem recovery. This will be until we figure out a way not to rewipe after reach flash. If we can figure that out then we can deploy full recovery with the nbh and lk.

aite.. plenty of work to do.

yup, that is sounding awesome. And by the way, I have the full recovery in the NBH right now, and it seems to be OK with that. So I'm not sure you even need to do the OEM recovery unless the new recovery gets significantly larger in the tgz compressed file.
