RFC edk2-tools-library creation Create a new tianocore owned repository to host a python library package in support of UEFI development. This package will allow easy sharing of python library code to facilitate reuse. Inclusion of this package and dependency management should be managed using Pip/Pypi. This is a supplemental package and is not required to be used for edk2 builds. To avoid conflicting dependencies on your host platform it is strongly suggested to leverage python virtual environments.
Examples of content here * Edk2 file type parsing * UEFI structure encode/decode in python * Packaging tools (Capsules generation, signing, INF gen, Cat gen) * TPM support code * No command line tools/interface Maintainers * Sean Brogan * Bret Barkelew * Placeholder for existing maintainer from the basetools License * BSD + Patent (edk2 aligned) Contribution process and issue tracking * Follow Github PR process for contributions and issue tracking * Contributor forks repo in github * Contributor creates branch for work * Contributor updates release notes to indicate change (if necessary) * Contributor submits PR to master branch of tianocore/edk2-tools-library repo * Review feedback is given in PR * Python Tests are run on the repo (new contributions need unit tests) * Python Style (flake8) must pass * All review feedback must be completed, maintainers approved, and tests run successfully before PR is squash merged into master. Since squash merge is used there is no support for patchsets. The PR should be sized appropriately.
