Hi all, I started to implement an example WebYast package and I have a yast2-devtools skeleton for REST API package ready. But I found that many things are duplicated in all REST plugins. E.g. each Rakefile contains the same copied targets (e.g. 'package'). The common targets should be shared instead of copying. If there is a bug or we want to add a new feature we have to fix a lot of packages... Here is my proposal: - Add include.rake file into rakelib[*] subdirectory in each plugin, see the attachment. (It includes the files from the current directory if it's called inside the git repository otherwise it includes system files from /srv/www/yastws/...) - Define the shared tasks in rest-service/webservice/lib/tasks/webservice subdirectory. The tasks should use webservice: namespace prefix so it's obvious that they are defined in the webservice not in the plugin or somewhere else. (See syntax_check.rake example) After that 'rake -T' in a plugin subdirectory will display the syntax check target from the shared directory, no need to copy&paste the code. What do you think about it? Any comments? I'm not a Rakefile expert... [*] I found that tasks defined in 'tasks' subdirectory in plugins are not found by rake, they must be in 'rakelib' subdirectory instead. We have to call 'git mv tasks rakelib' for all plugins and fix the .spec files... -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ # import global .rake files for plugins if File.exist?
