[opensuse-arm] New package: meson-tools
Hello, I have written, packaged and now submitted meson-tools v0.1: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/492296 Inspired by the sunxi-tools package for Allwinner SoCs, which is already in Factory, this one is a set of tools for Amlogic SoCs - currently for Amlogic S905 aka Meson GXBaby. The main tool is amlbootsig, which is a replacement for Amlogic's x86-only proprietary tool aml_encrypt_gxb. amlbootsig has been successfully used to build the JeOS-odroidc2 aarch64 Tumbleweed images. In order to build future official images in openSUSE:Factory:ARM, this tool needs to go into Factory. Other tools are for analyzing (amlbootinfo) and updating (unamlbootsig) bootloader binaries. See the README.md for more details on usage and known limitations. Thanks again to those that contributed to or supported the creation of these tools.

I can foresee an everlasting naming confusion to that build system "meson" of the same name… ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

Never heard of that one myself... https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch... Putting their company name onto an unofficial tool did not strike me as the best of ideas... ;-) As long as that meson package doesn't split off a tools sub-package - which hopefully Factory review would catch - we should be good. The summary in `zypper se meson` distinguishes sufficiently, I think.
