I tried to modify some of the default setting of the position service, I edited the org.eclipse.kura.position.service.xml file but after a rebuild only some of the changes take affect, others are overridden by values in snapshot_0.xml. Can you tell me what was the reason for creating this initial snapshot and what are the consequences of changing it, specifically the GPS port name.

Hi Mark,

A couple of things:

1. If you are building Kura, you need to make sure you tell the build of any changes you want to include in the installers. We control this with this config file [1]. For example, if you make a change to the org.eclipse.kura.linux.position bundle, you need to make sure the version in in the config file is updated as well. For example:

org.eclipse.kura.linux.position.version=1.0.5 -> org.eclipse.kura.linux.position.version=1.0.6-SNAPSHOT

2. The snapshot_0 file is used to control the initial state of a platform. Since not all platforms are created equal, it is a way to specify that certain platforms start in a know state. If you want to change default values for your target, this would be the file to change, not the component configuration file. These snapshot files are stored in https://github.com/eclipse/kura/tree/develop/kura/distrib/src/main/resources/<your_platform>/snapshot_0.xml .

Thanks,
--Dave
