Christopher Collins closed MYNEWT-39.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
The contents of all {{<project-name>.yml}} and {{compiler.yml}} files have been
migrated to the corresponding {{pkg.yml}} files, and the Newt tool has been
updated to account for this change.
A few notes:
* Project yml files have been modified to look exactly like any other pkg.yml
file. This means:
** The "project" prefix has been converted to "pkg"
** The "pkgs" setting has been renamed to "deps"
* Unlike project files, compiler yml files were not fully transformed into the
pkg.yml format. Compiler-specific settings (e.g., "compiler.path.cc",
"compiler.ld.flags", etc.) retain the "compiler" prefix.
The changes to the Newt tool were of the "quick fix" variety. While reading a
project's yml file, the tool simply opens "pkg.yml" when it used to open
"<project-name>.yml". The proper fix is to load the project configuration in
the same way as package configurations, allowing us to remove much of the code
in project.go. I did not do this because this would require some major
restructuring of the newt code, and I would prefer to implement this fix
incrementally. In the future, we will likely want to make these major changes.

> Right now the project's need to have egg dependencies in egg.yml for newt egg
> dependencies, and the newt build system looks for the project's dependencies
> in the <project>.yml file. This leads to confusion, and mismatching files.
> This should be unified, by either:
> a) Removing the <project>.yml file, and just having an egg.yml file.
> b) Only listing project dependencies in either the egg.yml _OR_ the
> <project>.yml file.
> Personally, I think everything a project does can be encapsulated in an
> egg.yml file.
