[Starlingx-discuss] [RFC] StarlingX Developer Guide

[Arce Moreno, Abraham]

Hi Zhipeng,

> I have some proposals as below.

Thanks for bringing this up.

> In current developer guide, we have 2 containers for mirror download and
> build.
> Can we change it to only use 1 container for both? We will have 2 benefits at
> least
> 1) Simplify developer guide and remove some steps, such as mirror copy.
> 2) Developer can do mirror integrity check before start building.
>      We always encounter this kind of issue that when build has been started
> for a while, then it told us some package missing. If we can do integrity check
> before building, it will be friendly to Developer.

Yes, we are using 2 containers due to the way we approach to replicate Wind River
build environment and I also agree it is time to get new improvements into the
build process. Let's wait for some feedback from the rest of the team about
pros and cons, if any.

> For mirror integrity check, just need to check if local mirror is complete
> compare to the latest Download list. If not, need download missing package
> first before start building.

Yes
