Maintainer info

Prerequisites

A recent xpm, which is a portable Node.js command line application.

It is recommended to update to the latest version with:

npm install --global xpm@latest

Project repository

The project is hosted on GitHub as:

To clone the stable branch (xpack), run the following commands in a terminal (on Windows use the Git Bash console):

rm -rf ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git && \
mkdir -p ~/Work && \
git clone \
  https://github.com/micro-os-plus/devices-cortexa-xpack.git \
  ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git

For development purposes, clone the xpack-develop branch:

rm -rf ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git && \
mkdir -p ~/Work && \
git clone \
  --branch xpack-develop \
  https://github.com/micro-os-plus/devices-cortexa-xpack.git \
  ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git

Development setup

Remove previous packages

In this early development phase, package versions are not properly set, and if you have older versions of the xPack installed, sometimes updates may fail to get the latest version. To fix this remove all global packages by using

cd ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git
xpm run rm-global-deps

and repeat the steps from xpm install.

Install dependencies

With a clean slate, install dependencies:

cd ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git
xpm run install-all

Run tests

The project includes unit tests.

To perform the tests, run the usual xpm sequence:

cd ~/Work/devices-cortexa-xpack.git
xpm run test-all

Clone writeable dependencies

The above procedure will allow to develop the project itself, but the dependencies will be read-only; to be able to contribute to them, also clone the xpack-develop branches of all µOS++ source xPacks into a folder of your choice and link them to the central xPacks folder by running xpack link in each folder.

To automate this, there is a helper script to clone these repos into ${HOME}/Work/micro-os-plus-xpack-repos:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/micro-os-plus/helper-scripts/main/clone-and-link-all-git-repos.sh | bash -

Note: If you prefer a different location, start the script with a first argument as the destination folder path.

After cloning all Git repos, link this project to the development packages, by running the link-deps actions:

cd devices-cortexa-xpack.git
xpm run link-deps

Continuous Integration

The CI tests are performed on GitHub Actions, as the CI on Push workflow.

Code formatting

Code formatting is done using clang-format --style=file, either manually from a script, or automatically from Visual Studio Code, or the Eclipse CppStyle plug-in.

How to publish

Publish on the npmjs.com server

  • select the xpack-develop branch
  • commit all changes
  • update versions in README.md and README-MAINTAINER.md
  • update CHANGELOG.md
  • commit with a message like prepare v2.0.0
  • npm pack and check the content of the archive, which should list only package.json, README.md, LICENSE, CHANGELOG.md, the sources and CMake/meson files; possibly adjust .npmignore
  • npm version patch, npm version minor, npm version major
  • push the xpack-develop branch to GitHub
  • the postversion npm script should also update tags via git push origin --tags
  • wait for the CI job to complete (https://github.com/micro-os-plus/devices-cortexa-xpack/actions/workflows/CI.yml)
  • npm publish --tag next (use npm publish --access public when publishing for the first time)

The version is visible at:

Update the repo

When the package is considered stable:

  • with a Git client (VS Code is fine)
  • merge xpack-develop into xpack
  • push to GitHub
  • select xpack-develop

Tag the npm package as latest

When the release is considered stable, promote it as latest:

  • npm dist-tag ls @micro-os-plus/devices-cortexa
  • npm dist-tag add @micro-os-plus/[email protected] latest
  • npm dist-tag ls @micro-os-plus/devices-cortexa

Share on Twitter

  • in a separate browser windows, open TweetDeck
  • using the @micro_os_plus account
  • paste the release name like µOS++ devices-cortexa v2.0.0 released
  • paste the link to the Web page release
  • click the Tweet button
