[RFC] BZ 1837 Enable Windows Firmware Update Driver Tool in Edk2/BaseTools for 201908 stable tag

[Eric Jin]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 455 bytes --]

Hi All,

It is the request to Enable Windows Firmware Update Driver Tool in Edk2/BaseTools  and catch the Q3 tag.
The new tool will leverage the edk2-pytool-library to generate the cat/inf file based on the cap file. The output driver package can be trigged in Windows OS to complete capsule update.

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1837

Patch link: https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/32780378#44992

Best Regards
Eric

I see this patch was sent a week ago. This is a standalone tool. There is no impact on normal build and boot. I am OK to add it for 201908 stable tag.

Thanks
Liming

Hi Liming,

This is the other one. As I said, the fact that we are slipping
multiple scripts in *just* before freeze is a concern for me.

I have no objection to the code here though.

I would however request that Sean is set as author on patch 1/2 as he
was the original author of the script. (This was easy for me to find
out because the commit message was exemplary.)

Best Regards,

Leif

Hi Leif,

Thank for the valuable suggestion.
In the patch series V2, Sean has been set as author on patch 1/2. Thank you.

I realize it is my fault that I don't notify the release plan as early as possible even the BZ1837 is created in May and want to catch 201908 stable tag.
