IDF Component Registry manifest

Ok then.

I added a idf_components.yml and did a --dry-run using compote, it didn't complain, at least.

So what is done is:

1. Sign in at components.espressif.com. I use Github.
2. In the profile menu, click tokens and create a token. I gave it all the rights as I way looking around the CLI.
3. Add a ~.espressif/idf_component_manager.yml or equivalent on your platform.
4. Make it look like:

profiles:
  default:
    api_token: "ADD THE FULL TOKEN HERE"

5. Now you are logged in on the command line when you run IDF stuff.
6. In the repository folder, run: compote component upload --name Radiolib

If you haven't gotten any errors, you should be able to search for find Radiolib at https://components.espressif.com/ .
I hope I haven't forgotten any steps, is really tired today, but seeing that you seem to work with getting stuff up in space, I am sure you can get stuff up on Espressif as well if I have made some mistake. :-)

Good luck!

Thanks! I'll read up on some docs before merging this, to make sure I understand the workflow. But it seems to be similar to how platformio works.

Come to think of it I should probably automate publishing with some CI, it's getting quite tedious to be doing it manually, which is:

1. Change versions in the appropriate files
2. Push the updated files
3. Wait for CI to build every example for every platform
4. Create a tag (this gets picked up by Arduino library manager)
5. Checkout the tag and publish to platformio
6. Publish to espressif

Yeah, that is probably a good move. Could be good idea to try once manually first though to get any kinks out.
Promise it is just not because I need it to be able to get my library up. :-)
(just saw I wrote that I logged in with LinkedIn, freudian mistake, meant GitHub of course)

@nicklasb all looks good, the package is up: https://components.espressif.com/components/jgromes/radiolib. Expect an update to 6.4.3 soon ;)

For future reference when I'm putting the release CI together, the command to upload the package must include the namespace: compote component upload --name RadioLib --namespace jgromes, otherwise a rather unhelpful ERROR: You are not allowed to perform this action. is shown.

Ok, way cool. it worked! (https://components.espressif.com/components/robusto/robusto/versions/0.1.5-alpha)

For me it worked without the namespace initially, oddly. I asked for the "robusto" namespace though, so I have two namespaces, might be something like that. I didn't mention the namespace aspect as you have jgromes/ everywhere, and I assumed that you do not want to diverge from that.

There is one minor annoyance, though, and that is that the ESP-IDF CMakelist.txt reference to RadioLib had to be changed to lowercase, which might be of note to those who use RadioLib in ESP-IDF as a git-dependency following the case of the repo, or use the exact source of the nonArduino/ESP-IDF-example. Robusto is lowercase everywhere so it won't get stuck on that.
