Official proposal for stakeholder process for the following idea. Anyone can contribute.
Summary ---------- Amit Kucheria has suggested we create a script called linaro-testdrive to ease the knowledge required to download images and create bootable media. In his opinion as we continuously add support for more platforms and even more boards, it will become untenable to maintain the wiki pages describing. Something similar to 'testdrive' for Ubuntu is required for the next cycle. This script should ask some basic questions and just do the right thing. This should be a separate script from linaro-media-create. Questions would be: - What SoC? - What board? - What release (milestone)? - Image type (headless, alip, qemu, etc.) Each of these would be a multiple choice question. This should get rid of the several levels of indirection required just to download all the right components before trying to prepare an image. The should be easily data driven. A data file could contain all of the information required for the questions above. And with the right packaging, upgrades to linaro-testdrive will continually add support for new platforms and boards.
