Hi,
Plan is to merge all of these to one shell script because most of the content in that script is very similar.
to me it all just seems as values and templates hidden inside shell script called generator. Each of this generators uses/references 1-N variables, 1-N out-of-tree dependencies and 1-N DT sections.
So instead of cooking custom shell templating engine I took different approach[1] and simply removed the shell script generator in favor of Python based templating engine, allowing for ITS dependency tracking and values directly in Make.
Lets see what is preferred.
The issue which I see is that patch above is changing current behavior which means when this is applied all travis/gitlab/azure jobs will fail because none has setup this config option.
If that is desired, then in order to keep the current behavior, I see following options:
1. Disable building of boards having out-of-tree dependencies on build bot/CI 2. Enable BUILDBOT_BROKEN_BINARIES=y by default 3. Add detection of various build bot/CI platforms and enable BUILDBOT_BROKEN_BINARIES=y by default, which then could cause further issues when one would actually run test the binaries from build bot/CI 4. Include the out-of-tree dependencies (unlikely)
What is your suggestion?
