Hi Sean, That the Basetools works correctly depends on the PACAKGES_PATH is set correctly. I think this patch provides common function and provides assistance for the Basetools.

This patch is to support those platforms that haven’t adopted PyTools for their platform build.

The community and design meetings have had a few discussions about tools (PyTools has been presented twice) and a few brief discussions about common patterns to build platforms but I don't think there is real alignment. Each "platform" has its own way of doing things. As for this patch, I don't really want to see a bunch of scripts added to edk2 basetools that are not aligned with a community agreed direction (or any clear direction). It has also been brought up that basetools as a python package/project is a challenge to work with and has some fundamental problems. Adding more in a similar design pattern is not how we start fixing it. As an example for edk2-pytools, an RFC was offered and even then it was added as its own repositories to avoid more directly to the edk2 repo. @Mike K - Any progress on getting a tools subtream setup? Any governance ideas to help align these efforts. Thanks Sean -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
