Hello Yocto community,
some parts of Yocto software (MIC?) use the 'bmap-tools' project to
speed up
image flashing.
https://github.com/intel/bmap-tools
I am the original author of the software, and I created it many years
ago to
speed up Tizen image flashing, and it helped a lot back at the time.
It was also
my first python project, so it was a lot of fun learning python while
also
creating something useful.
Thank you for your contribution, this tool has been quite useful for me
over
the years.
But after that, I stopped working on it and it was mostly Yocto folks
who
contributed changes here and there. I never had time and enough
motivation to
maintain the project further, but other folks helped.
Simon McVitte was active maintainer, but he said he does not have time
for it
now as well.
The project is in "github.com/intel" space, and Intel is going to
archive the
git repository soon. This basically means the repository becomes
read-only soon.
Thank you for this update and letting us know ahead of time.
Would Yocto community have enthusiasts to fork it and maintain the
fork?
Yes, I'll volunteer to maintain it going forward. My non-stackoverflow
python
knowledge is minimal, but I recently dug deeply into bmaptools to solve
an
issue I had noticed. So I'm confident enough to take it over if nobody
else is
interested.
Ya, it's an awesome tool and a huge time saver for us, so can also
help maintain it
We can probably move it under the https://github.com/yoctoproject umbrella?
I can also help maintain this tremendous time saver.
https://github.com/yoctoproject and the github workflow is fine with me as
long as I can commit to it from my @gmail identity.
@tim do you want to import the current repository from intel? Then we can
update the recipe in oe-core and go from there.
Michael, if you need any support from the Yocto Project advisory board
to move bmaptool to the yoctoproject github, I can help with that.
Philip
