Either one will get you a bootable RaspberryPi image.
Oleksandr's script is simple and straightforward. If you're
used to building images manually, you'll probably find his
script a lot easier to understand and modify for your needs.
My script has a couple of more ambitious goals:
* Build everything from source. It will build all of the various boot
bits from source (as far as possible), which should make it a
better choice for tracking changes to those various pieces.
* Be an extensible platform for building various types of images.
It already has configuration knobs for things like whether
to include /usr/src or /usr/ports, and I'm experimenting with
installing packages as part of the build (pkgng "almost" makes
this easy). It should be relatively simple to add hooks for
other kinds of configuration tweaks.
* Support several different boards. It cleanly supports both
RaspberryPi and BeagleBone right now. It should be feasible
to support others but I don't have access to other hardware
right now.
Cheers,
Tim
