Re: [PATCH] BaseTools: Retrieve git version info

["Bob Feng" <bob.c.feng@intel.com>]

Hi Pankaj,

I think if the firmware module need to show git version information, the version information need to build into firmware binary but not set to OS environment variable.

Thanks
Bob

Subject: RE: [PATCH] BaseTools: Retrieve git version info

Hi Pankaj,

I would have some questions.  Which module or tool will read WORKSPACE_GIT_VERSION and PACKAGES_PATH_GIT_VERSION?
-> Any driver or library can use this. I had tested this patch in Qemu after adding these changes :

PACKAGES_PATH can include multiple path separated by ";",  looks this patch can't handle such case.
-> I did not know this information, maybe we can enhance this function for handling ";" in PACKAGES_PATH ?
     I would need some time to work on it. I would really appreciate if anybody can help.

Why is this function implemented in build wrapper?
-> The purpose of this patch is to provide a user method to determine which source code was booted?
     Or if a UEFI driver/application has been loaded in system from shell, which was the commit version for that?
     This helps debugging in case we are provided logs of running system or logs of driver/application. 
     Since a user can make a standalone driver/application using build command, I added this function in build wrapper.

Thanks,
Bob

Retrieve git version info and save as environment variable These variables can be used in modules to print the vesrion info when uefi boots.
This helps in identifying the codebase from logs.

Notes:
    When i ran PatchCheck.py script on this patch i received two errors:
    1. Line ending ('\n') is not CRLF
    2. The commit message format is not valid:
     * Contributed-under! (Note: this must be removed by the code contributor!)
    
    I have fixed the [2] but i have not fixed [1], as this file's line endings
    are already unix like. Please suggest if i need to change these to windows
    like?
