This tool only works on python 2 (python 2.6 or lator). Change the shebang to make sure the script is run by python 2 and clearly say the supported version in the comment block. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com>
I guess some developers are already getting sick of this tool because it generally takes a few minites to generate the boards.cfg on a reasonable computer. The idea popped up on my mind was to skip Makefiles and to run script/kconfig/conf directly. This tool should become about 4 times faster. You might still not be satisfied, but better than doing nothing. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
It looks silly to regenerate the boards.cfg even when it is already up to date. The tool should exit with doing nothing if the boards.cfg is newer than any of defconfig, Kconfig and MAINTAINERS files. Specify -f (--force) option to get the boards.cfg regenerated regardless its time stamp. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
This tool deletes the incomplete boards.cfg if it encounters an error or is is terminated by the user. I notice some problems even though they rarely happen. [1] The boards.cfg is removed if the program is terminated during __gen_boards_cfg() function but before boards.cfg is actually touched. In this case, the previous boards.cfg should be kept as it is. [2] If an error occurs while deleting the incomplete boards.cfg, the program throws another exception. This hides the privious exception and we will not be able to know the real cause.

When an error occurs or the program is terminated by the user on the way, the destructer __del__ of class Slot is invoked and the work directories are removed. We have to make sure there are no subprocesses (in this case, "make O=<work_dir> ...") using the work directories before removing them. Otherwise the subprocess spits a bunch of error messages possibly causing more problems. Perhaps some users may get upset to see too many error messages.

The tools/genboardscfg.py expects all the Kconfig and defconfig are written correctly. Imagine someone accidentally has broken a board. Error-out just for one broken board is annoying for the other developers. Let the tool skip insane boards and continue processing.

tools/genboardscfg.py expects all the boards have MAINTAINERS. If someone adds a new board but misses to add its MAINTAINERS file, tools/genboardscfg.py fails to generate the boards.cfg file. It is annoying for the other developers. This commit allows tools/genboardscfg.py to display warning messages and continue processing even if some MAINTAINERS files are missing or have broken formats.

Kconfig in U-Boot creates a temporary file configs/.tmp_defconfig during processing "make <board>_defconfig". The temporary file might be left over for some reasons. Just in case, tools/genboardscfg.py should make sure to not read such garbage files. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
This commit makes sure boards.cfg is up to date before starting the build tests. tools/genboardscfg.py exits immediately printing "boards.cfg is up to date. Nothing to do." when boards.cfg is already new. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
This patch fixes a minor problem: If a block without "F: configs/*_defconfig" is followed by another block with "F: configs/*_defconfig", the maintainers from the former block are squashed into the latter. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com>
