Required Packages:

dd, parted, kpartx, bmap-tools
Usage
------------
First get a local copy to your machine
$ git clone https://github.com/elar-systems/Roseapple-Pi
You can make an Image now:
$ cd Roseapple-Pi
$ ./make-roseapple-sdcard-img.sh <image_file_name>
Note: Script asks you to confirm creating the partition. Type "Yes" to continue.
If it shows the Warning for End Sector of Image, just Ignore it as it automatically adjusts the image end sector size.
If you are on a Debian based system, you can install bmap-tools
$ sudo apt-get install bmap-tools
Extract the archive and use bmaptool to copy it to the SD card
$ sudo bmaptool copy your_sd_image.img /dev/sdX
You can also use dd but it will take a lot longer since bmaptool doesn't write the empty bits
Windows users can use "Win32DiskImager" to write the .img file to the SD card
