Build system
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This page explains internals of the Gluon build system. It is currently very
|
|
incomplete; please contribute if you can!
|
|
|
|
Feed management
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Rather that relying on the *feed.conf* mechanism of OpenWrt directly, Gluon
|
|
manages its feeds (*"modules"*) using a collection of scripts. This solution was
|
|
selected for multiple reasons:
|
|
|
|
- Feeds lists from Gluon base and the site repository are combined
|
|
- Patchsets are applied to downloaded feed repositories automatically
|
|
|
|
The following variables specifically affect the feed management:
|
|
|
|
GLUON_FEEDS
|
|
List of base feeds; defined in file *modules* in Gluon base
|
|
|
|
GLUON_SITE_FEED
|
|
List of site feeds; defined in file *modules* in site config
|
|
|
|
\*_REPO, \*_BRANCH, \*_COMMIT
|
|
Git repository URL, branch and and
|
|
commit ID of the feeds to use. The branch name may be omitted; the default
|
|
branch will be used in this case.
|
|
|
|
GLUON_BASE_FEEDS
|
|
Additional feed definitions to be added to *feeds.conf*
|
|
verbatim. By default, this contains a reference to the Gluon base packages;
|
|
when using the Gluon build system to build a non-Gluon system, the variable
|
|
can be set to the empty string.
