By no means should th= ese binaries be considered an official release, they are a snapshot that I = created to help everyone give EdkRepo a try.

This is also a convenient w= ay to set up a MinPlatform development workspace: edkrepo clone min_platform Intel-MinPlatform Questions or comments, are always welcome! Regards, Nate -----Original Message----- From: rfc@edk2.groups.io On Behalf Of Nate DeSimone Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2019 4:59 PM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; rfc@edk2.groups.io Subject: [edk2-rfc] [RFC] EdkRepo - The Multi-Repository Tool for EDK II Hi All, This RFC is raised to add EdkRepo, the multi-repository tool for EDK II fi= rmware development to TianoCore. EdkRepo is built on top of git. It is intended to automate common develope= r workflows for projects that use more than one git repository. For example= many of the new projects in the edk2-platforms repository require the user= to clone several git repositories. EdkRepo makes it easier to set up and u= pstream changes for these projects. EdkRepo does not replace git, rather it= provides higher level extensions that make it easier to work with git. Edk= Repo uses "manifest XML" files to describe the git repositories and EDK II = packages that a project uses. EdkRepo is aware of the DSC file format and i= s able to combine this XML with metadata from DSC files to create a develop= ment experience tailored specifically for EDK II firmware development. EdkR= epo is written in Python and is compatible with Python 3.5 or later. EdkRepo has been internally developed at Intel for 2.5 years. EdkRepo was = originally created to support our own product development. With the recent = release of MinPlatformPkg, the number of complete open source UEFI firmware= implementations available at TianoCore has been growing rapidly. We see th= at many of the development workflows we encounter for our product work now = apply more broadly to the TianoCore community. Accordingly, we would like t= o open EdkRepo to community. We see this process going through several phases. First, we provide an ini= tial commit of EdkRepo via edk2-staging. We envision two branches being add= ed to edk2-staging: 1. EdkRepo - Contains the source code for the EdkRepo tool. 2. EdkRepo-Manifest - Contains an initial set of example manifest files wh= ich can be used to try EdkRepo I will send out patches to create these two branches shortly. After these branches are created, we will send a series of commits to popu= late the first open source version of EdkRepo. At this point the community = can take a look and provide feedback. There are several options for where t= he final location where this tool might live: 1. edk2-platforms 2. edk2-pytool-library 3. The edk2-toolenv repository proposed by Sean (assuming approval of Sean= 's RFC) 4. A new, separate repository created for EdkRepo In addition, we recommend that a new TianoCore owned repository be created= to host the manifest XML content. The initial proposed maintainer list for EdkRepo is: M: Nate DeSimone M: Ashley DeSimone R: Puja Pandya I believe a community discussion is needed to make a decision on the exact= final location. Once consensus is reached, we can retire the edk2-staging = version of EdkRepo. As always, feedback on this proposal is welcome and app= reciated. With Best Regards, Nate
