I'm thinking/planning of also having another copy of the build - one that has a few extra files in it for users who are trying out Rockbox for the first time, those who formatted their Sansa, etc. It's rather large in size, 19MB, and includes the two files needed for the dict plugin, the freedoom wads, a few themes, and all the Rockbox fonts. The file would only need to be downloaded once (assuming the .rockbox directory isn't deleted) and would probably be good for new users who want to see the full potential of Rockbox.
I already have a copy of it ready for those who want to test it out, and see if I should add or remove anything from it. Keep in mind, for normal use, only the regular build is required - this one is only as a "restore" build to allow you to go back to Rockbox'ing after a problem, or for those who otherwise do not have a .rockbox directory.

It does not auto update like the rest of the build, though it wouldn't be hard for it to do so. For now, I think I will see how active that is (and read comments) and will see if it's worth keeping.

Actually not a bad idea, that is if its not too much work to keep up with.

Trying out your Rockbox Full edition right now, I'm a new user to rockbox, and I'm anticipating trying it out... I'll let you know what I think =).

Thanks for this full build.
Here are my suggestions:
1. Remove the redundant dict.desc and dict.index files from the .rockbox folder.
2. Add free games/ levels (if any) for Rockbox's simulator plugins.

Sorry for what is probably a misplaced comment.
Where's the right place to suggest a patch for inclusion into the build?

To make thing clear, I mean a patch that is submitted to the Rockbox's Flyspray and is regularly synched and improved by the respective author.
