Hi,
I was testing Mynewt's packaging and distribution system.and was
able to add additional repository to my project and build a simple
led toggling application for nrf52 DK.
I think that the repository system is a very nice idea as it allows to
a) Roll out various _independent_ releases.
b) User can pick and choose different repositories.
To test this, I created a repository on github and created a sample
blinky application that requires two different repositories (glue logic
in project.yml and pkg.yml). As, at the moment, the idea is to have
a repository, containing some application, I was wondering if this is
a good way of doing it ? I think, the source management in this case,
should be similar to mynewt's core repository (apache-mynewt-core),
and contains:
a) project.yml (so that, i can build applications, which have dependencies
with other repositories)
b) repository.yml (so that, other users can add this repo in their
project.yml file)
c) pkg.yml at the package level (say, under apps/blinky/)
In nutshell, the different glue logic files look like as below:
<snip from project.yml>
project.name: "my_project"
project.repositories:
- apache-mynewt-core
- mynewt_nordic
# Use github's distribution mechanism for core ASF libraries.
# This provides mirroring automatically for us.
#
repository.apache-mynewt-core:
type: github
vers: 0-latest
user: apache
repo: incubator-mynewt-core
# nRF5xxx specific external libraries
#
repository.mynewt_nordic:
type: github
vers: 0-latest
user: runtimeinc
repo: mynewt_nordic
<snip from project.yml>
--------------------------------------
<snip from repository.yml>
repo.name: mynewt-nrf52-prph
repo.versions:
"0.0.0": "develop"
"0-latest": "0.0.0"
<snip from repository.yml>
-----------------------------------------
<snip from apps/blinky/pkg.yml>
pkg.name: apps/blinky
pkg.type: app
pkg.description: blinky example for NRF52 DK
pkg.author: "Kumar Amit Mehta <[email protected]>"
pkg.homepage: "https://github.com/bartledan";
pkg.keywords:
pkg.deps:
- "@apache-mynewt-core/kernel/os"
- "@apache-mynewt-core/hw/hal"
- "@apache-mynewt-core/sys/console/full"
- "@mynewt_nordic/hw/mcu/nordic_sdk"
<snip from apps/blinky/pkg.yml>
------------------------------------------------
The application builds and loads fine on the nRF52 Dev-Kit.
Thanks,
Amit
