Bob and Ray, My point isn't that there is anything wrong with script. This script is designed to work with edk2-platforms repo or other repos of similar layout. This is a "platform" thing that is needed on some platforms (not edk2 core platforms). To me this means it does't belong in edk2 repo.
Anytime new functionality is proposed I think it is important to evaluate the stakeholders of the given repository that is targeted and make sure the functionality is aligned. In my opinion when edk2 get too prescriptive about how to do things outside of edk2 or tries to prematurely provide functionality for all consumers to use then we often see this overhead added to the tree and low adoption rate. I would propose to add this to edk2-platforms since that is where this is needed and build up a nice "platform" design pattern. If it provides great value then talk about moving up in the repository stack. Finally, I know this is a trivial and small script. The overhead is minimal but i see this as a barometer for how the community aligns to support all isn't consumers. Many of us have to maintain forks with significant changes because edk2 carries too many prescriptive ideas. I want to push Tianocore to have better alignment with different repositories, their functionality and focus. I want to see downstream consumers spend less time maintaining their fork and shipping code more closely aligned with the open source edk2. thanks Sean -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
