Not the API as stand alone, of course, but the burden to support its changes and breakages. Why should U-Boot even have python as a build prerequisite? I really think that having shell, make, and $(cross)gcc should be enough for the basic source build. > we just need > /usr/bin/env python2 as how we invoke our scripts. This means impose python version dependency for U-Boot source build? Correct me if you think I'm wrong, but I don't think this is a good practice... I think that for tools like buildman, patman, etc. - this is perfectly fine to impose an interpreter/compiler version, but not for the basic source builds. > > The question is, what helper scripts do we really need to have around > and expect many people to use. IMO, helper scripts, that are not involved in U-Boot source build can be written in any language/script. - -- Regards, Igor. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJT43xhAAoJEBDE8YO64EfaAt0QAIKiLhrxDpH2qPplAKr7SRrB ohP+7aRvKAV175KwOGIbWEDNybmdii+/wW+Hl1pHkt7UL6jcJVQjQ8Qrv9vg44TZ YFR14VE4lBMOU62NXaTBMaae49dT69Kq2LemOvizNbMr6PvWi3cvFTWS9voROVtE ydWCpQhFzj6iau55Eg8anFe47jFGdsGyysdfCE7Vu+h1KOMGvEY613rZO+od3ZR4 vHAAtlD4wvIfg/r+8FRvbSnooI+HlTI/vlimcwkH1YlX1I256Db15FAYx9OnREPN /9NTFXiFLAd7iucjI0ScF+hY+U0ni4qcA5le/C5/lgMgQi08vSlWKuziJNbGST1/ P4ijeb/kh34oTYphKcJytr5paml9Cd+ljIWDi3AWjSxGjQm4Oc3knk0CK9hfV3N7 A1Xs9hZgEMzU01peYtj8FyeEmpRXHpWhHAbPB5N2xcKW2rDrnVhX4+qupRxYP2VN LcWuTrJGvFJUiG0T4+gsI/DiStLNQxI0M/UoBlIhSP9fIceVCr6NNFZRcPG1MBfy MsOMSW4SgP1Yg/Gil47bIXiZDSNn0QNJtanAEBwHSZOnmvw+WO1XMoGAaAnAzRUw xSd5+gsj2xeWOI4adc2ye95ZZ8FLh5rfaZoxv0q8aeuqnBsp4dBDQL95WNpDVDdG Kpkpr6gloENHHwTptRVc =iVHF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
