Firmware folder structure
Does it make sense to recreate the iOS folder structure and list every file and subfolder of every iDevice ? I think it's allot of effort to maintain and with iOS 5 upcoming I also forsee numerous changes. Having different firmwares for the devices (2g 3.X, 3G 4.X, 3GS 5.X, ...) makes it even harder I think. Just a thought.--M2m 21:00, 10 September 2011 (MDT)
- I'll second that (though I haven't seen iOS 5's guts yet). Some notable files (e.g.- /private/etc/fstab) are all right though. --Dialexio 22:30, 10 September 2011 (MDT)
- I agree. I also find it very annoying that many Apps' pages got moved to some strange page name, just to match some file structure. I would prefer to have the Apps under their original name. If a page for some file structure infos is really needed, then this might get added additionally to either the App's page or a separate page.
