Hello,
it would be nice if we could add a buildman cookbok with hints how to
get started quickly with the most frequent use cases (or add some
quickstart section to the README).
Things that I would like to have better documented include:
- dependencies on external tools:
-> tools/buildman/buildman --list-tool-chains
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tools/buildman/buildman", line 10, in <module>
import multiprocessing
ImportError: No module named multiprocessing
It would be nice if we could list such dependencies.
Actually we should probably provide such dependencies for U-Boot in
general - other tools have similar issues, like:
-> tools/genboardscfg.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tools/genboardscfg.py", line 19, in <module>
import fnmatch
ImportError: No module named fnmatch
- It would be nice if we could include a sample ".buildman" file,
and add documentation what the sections ("[toolchain]",
"[toolchain-alias]") and entries ("root", "rest", "eldk", "arm",
"aarch64") actually mena, which other options exist, and how the
tool selects a specific tool chain from this list if multiple
options are present.
- I work a lot with local branches, and regularly run into this:
-> tools/buildman/buildman -n -b tq-generic-board
No section: 'make-flags'
Branch 'tq-generic-board' not found or has no upstream
Can we not avoid this? Or add a default to "master"?
The README recommends to use "git branch --set-upstream ...", but
actually I don't want to do that - it is simply not needed.
Furthermore, git complains;
-> git branch --set-upstream tq-generic-board master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using
--track or --set-upstream-to
Branch tq-generic-board set up to track local branch master.
Thanks.
