Hello Tizen community, AGL framework is a kind of fork of the Tizen 3 framework. From tizen 3, it uses either Smack, Cynara and Security manager.
This message is relaying a major evolution of this friendly framework for the sake of sharing common knowledge. As announced in Tokyo [1][2], the AGL framework now in master leverages features of systemd. To achieve it, IoT.bzh replaced its application launcher with systemd. The unit files required by systemd are computed during installation. This major evolution has many good benefits: - managing applications using cgroups is now a matter of tuning - supporting namespaces and/or chroot is now a matter of tuning - autostart of applications (homescreen?) is available - applications can now provide their API (bindings) to other applications (solving issue of Navi & POI) as service does with possible autostart - system/integration configuration through afm-unit.conf is powerful - the overall code is simpler At the same time the framework also allows now to install more than just one application by widget, allowing, for example, to provide in the same package the service, the application, the setup ... For developers, the biggest change is when writing config.xml. The documentation was updated and is avalaible in raw here [3].
