Rework of the whole folder architecture

[Miouyouyou]

In order to package the modules correctly, a package-manager specific directory architecture has been put in place.

I'll write the documentation by the end of the day.

Still, the whole idea to have something like that, inside the module directory :

• armbian`
  • DEPS : Global installation dependencies
  • DEPS.build : Dependencies only required to build the actual module project
  • BUILD.sh : The script run at the module root directory to build the whole module.
  • POSTINST.sh : Global Post-installation script
  • all-archs/
  • cli/
  • DEPS : Cli specific dependencies
  • module/ : Module files copied on the harddrive...
  • gui/
  • POSTINST.sh : GUI specific Post-installation script
  • DEPS : GUI specific dependencies
  • module/ : Module files copied on the harddrive...
  • armv7/ : ARMv7 specific modules
  • aarch64 : ARMv8 64 bits specific modules
  • aarch64.rockchip : ARMv8 64 bits specific modules for Rockchip

The packager only needs to install :

• armbian/DESC* to /usr/share/armbian/configurator/modules/${module_name}
• armbian/${most_specific_architecture}/cli/module to /usr/share/armbian/configurator/modules/${module_name}/cli
• If they exist :
  • armbian/${most_specific_architecture}/tui/module to /usr/share/armbian/configurator/modules/${module_name}/tui
  • armbian/${most_specific_architecture}/gui/module to /usr/share/armbian/configurator/modules/${module_name}/gui

The packaging script is not ready at the moment, though...

Notes :

First, note that the architectures directories are not required per-se. You can go with only "all-archs". Only create an "armv7" directory if it makes sense for you to have a Armv7 specific module. This is generally the case if the module needs to be built for a specific architecture.

Second, while the files (DEPS, POSTINST.sh, ...) are concatenated, each architecture is independent, and the packaging script WILL NOT OVERLAY ARCHITECTURES DIRECTORIES. Meaning that identical module files need to copied over and over, in each individual architecture directory.

The new patches introduce BREAKING CHANGES. If you could test the whole thing before merging, this would help.

Also note that I won't be there until the start of September. I'll push the documentation of the new architecture today. But I won't have any script ready for the packaging.
