[Tinyos-commits] CVS: tinyos-1.x/tools/make/msp install.extra, 1.7, 1.8

[steve ayer]

cory,

i stand corrected.

the reason, as stated in the cvs log, is that we were having trouble 
with a corrupted executable image being installed on telosb's, which we 
traced to the lack of a mass erase during installation.

i missed the change in default behavior from last december, which 
explains why this problem first appeared after an update from 
sourceforge in january.

i'll back out the change right now, and offer apologies for the annoyance.
