Add system package to identify platform
Added by Hammel over 1 year ago.
Updated about 1 year ago.
Description
It would be helpful to have a pkg installed that identifies the system that was built.
This can be done by adding a generic package build with command line option to set the system name at build time.
This new package can be called piconf and contain generally useful configuration options. Alternatively, this could be added to pmsui since all system builds include that package.

This basically the same thing that xeoncfg does for Xeon builds. So I can just duplicate that repo as piconf.
The metabuild can then add this package to each system, passing in a variable that sets the system, as in
make SYSTEM=<system> pkg
This will require build.sh checking for a token in the build command (re: [MODE]) that can be replaced by the -m value (re: $MODE).

meta2 has an updated build.sh ready to test against a piconf package. It's been tested against xeoncfg just to make sure the cli variable SYSTEM=<> is properly set.
Now I just need to create a piconf package like xeoncfg.
- % Done changed from 30 to 60
piconf repo ready to push upstream into new GitLab repo.
After pushing to gitlab I need to add piconf to a system build, say pisentry, and put it onto hardware to make sure it gets installed correctly.
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
- % Done changed from 60 to 100
Tested under meta4 against pisentry on hardware and it looks good.
Added piconf to all system build pkglists in meta repo.
Changes committed and pushed.
Closing issue.
