Build script for SHR (freerunner/n900/samsung)

[shr-project]

Hi,

I'm maintainer of SHR distribution and someone asked for new version of advancedcaching
http://lists.shr-project.org/pipermail/shr-user/2012-May/007583.html

We're using openembedded framework to cross-compile our packages so we don't need build script to provide .ipk, just to install files in right directories (ideally with help of distutils/setuptools).

In older version (45a4299) this worked fine, because setup.py was already provided by you, so bitbake recipe was simple:
http://git.shr-project.org/git/?p=meta-smartphone.git;a=blob;f=meta-shr/recipes-shr/3rdparty/advancedcaching_git.bb

Now to build new version I've started to write updated setup.py to achieve the same, do you have something similar already or would you accept patch adding setup.py back? Or should I wrote just shell script which copies files to expected rootfs?

Thanks

Something like
shr-project@a4ee184

and I don't really like installing to /opt so I've moved everything to site-packages, but qml is not usable with SHR as we don't package qmlgui.

Hi!
I would be happy to accept a patch for that. There's already an outdated script to package an .ipk-file (build/make-freerunner-ipk.sh). Currently, there's no working setup.py (but it's time to create one, as I need to update the easy_install builds).

Installing to /opt is mandatory for Maemo and Meego, but it's not useful for other installations.
Only a subset of files is needed for the Freerunner; In particular, the qml-related files can be skipped (qml subdirectory, qmlgui.py) as well as the hildon-related files.
