Another Pierogi update is now making its way into the extras-devel repository. The big news this time is that it is now more memory efficient! Through the simple expedient of not initializing keyset data until absolutely necessary, much less space is used. I would now say Pierogi has moved from being "Extravagantly Wasteful" to "Merely Inefficient".
This still isn't a full-fledged keyset management scheme, but it's a decent first step. And at around 10% of memory, Pierogi is getting closer to being widgetizable.
However, this required a fairly massive amount of code modification, so be warned -- there are likely more bugs in this update than normal!
In other news, I believe I have fixed a bug in the Sky/Sky+ protocol, so those keysets may work better now. Also, made a first pass at keysets for HP and Motorola.
(On HP -- some of the config files for HP remotes were using plain vanilla Microsoft MCE codes, and some were using a slightly modified MCE keyset. The HP keyset in Pierogi is just the modified one, so you may need to try both Microsoft and HP to find one that works for you.)
