| [ptp-dev] PTP Helios repository; PTP features and install process |
Some observations about what's in our PTP features. and the install process.
Summary: looks OK to me for now. I'm posting this in case we want to refer to it later
Using the Helios update site (categorized: the default: "Group items by category" remains checked)
If I check all the PTP items under "General Purpose Tools" I get this: (Using filter "PTP" here to get a smaller screenshot)
But then if I uncategorize and search for PTP I see a bunch of features are not selected (screenshot below)
*But*, just for the record, all the PTP features that are NOT checked in the above *are* part of the PTP End-user runtime feature,
and if you go ahead with the install you see in the "Install Details" page that they are there (another screenshot below):
So then I started wondering why do we have all the PTP Resource Managers as separate features if they are all included
in the PTP End-user runtime?
I thought the answer was: if you wanted a smaller install: if you just select a particular resource manager,
You will pull in it and the major components of the run-time w/o the other res mgrs, and the dependencies
will pull in the pre-reqs it needs (PTP, and eventually CDT).
But if I do an install and select e.g. just the OpenMPI Res Mgr, It seems to get the core parts of PTP (runtime perspective ok, but launching can't find enough debugger stuff to let you proceed),
but the pre-req for CDT doesn't get the editor or any C/C++ build sysem (nice error tells you this) ... so, it's close...
Anyway, food for thought.
