[cdt-dev] Native dependencies in CDT ecosystem
|
Hi,
I just added to p2 a mechanism that allows IUs to express dependencies
on native packages. This information is used during the installation to
present the user with a dialog indicating which native packages are
required (see attached screenshot) -- p2 does not trigger the
installation automatically.
Given that this work has been done mostly for the C/C++ ecosystem, I
would like to know on a per plug-in basis all the native dependencies in
use in the CDT ecosystem so I can prepare a patch leveraging this new
feature.
Two questions you may have:
- Why is this new support not documented widely? Because it is recent
(this week I build) but also because even though the p2 side is
complete, tycho still needs to consume a new version of p2 for builds to
not fail during product installation
- Which distros are supported? At this point only debian is supported.
Adding support for other distros should be as easy as creating a couple
shell scripts, patches welcome.
This work has been sponsored by Ericsson.
