Hi all,

Hi all,
right now most of the images, x86 and some of the arm ones are created from a 
series of kickstart files in the plasma-active-kickstart, legacy-kickstarts 
subdirectory.

as the name "legacy" says, there are better ways to do that.

I recreated the info for creating images in the form of yaml files, still in 
the plasma-active-kickstart repo.
That's for coherence with Nemo:
It has a general yaml file plus one yaml file for each hardware adaptation:

in this way it will be possible to produce a kickstart file for each device 
with a single command, you can try it with:

mer-kickstarter -e . -c latest-devel/plasma-active-latest-devel.yaml -o 
active-latest-ks/

as a bonus it uses now all yaml adaptation files from Nemo, gaining support 
for n900,950,pandaboard and an image optimized for virtual machines (with 
virtualbox tools and stuff)


Since we have now contributions of adaptations to new devices such as the 
nexus7, it would be cool if everything will go there, so will be possible to 
better track  what are all the devices where active works, and make easier for 
people to contribute and build images themselves.

It's still not perfect, but i would like to switch the weekly devel images to 
this asap.

I integrated the legacy kickstart files of Archos gen9 and Nexus7 into
yaml structure of plasma-active-kickstart maintaining repository. Also
I added the repo definitions of testing based images, which are still
using the frozen Mer core '0.20120816.1' dependencies.

The ce/nemo community is building against the always latest mer release
but we are building on top of a older fixed one for testing. This will hit us
at some point for adaptations we are not building on our own. We should
ask the nemo maintainers to offer us package repositories which are
based on the same fixed mer core release. As short term work-around
I just copied over breaking packages and rebuild them our
Project:KDE:Mer_Extras:Adaptation:Tegra3:Nexus7 project on
build.pub.meego.com

Affected repositories are:
   - ce-adaptation-n900   (http://repo.pub.meego.com)
   - ce-adaptation-n9xx-common   (http://repo.pub.meego.com)
   - ce-adaptation-n950-n9   (http://repo.pub.meego.com)
   - ce-adaptation-pandaboard   (http://repo.pub.meego.com)
   - nemo-hw-nv-tegra3-common   (http://repo.merproject.org)
   - nemo-hw-nv-tegra3-nexus7   (http://repo.merproject.org)

git clone  git://anongit.kde.org/plasma-active-kickstart

Sorry I forgot to tell:

This will create all kickstart files with testing repos configured
     mer-kickstarter --config=base.yaml -e latest-testing

This will create all kickstart files with devel repos configured
   mer-kickstarter --config=base.yaml -e latest-devel

Cheers

Maurice
