Remove duplicate boards manager JSON file #95

Closed per1234 closed 8 years ago

per1234 commented 8 years ago

The file used for Boards Manager installation support is located in the ide-1.6.x-boards-manager branch. The previous file should continue to be used so that the Boards Manager URL that users currently have configured in their IDE will remain valid thus this file is unnecessary.

This is 1 of 2 pull requests(the other is https://github.com/damellis/attiny/pull/96 ) updating the Boards Manager support system in preparation for adding v1.1.1 to the Boards Manager JSON file. My proposal is that the ide-1.6.x-boards-manager will be used only for the JSON file which will reference the source files from the master branch. This is now possible because the folder structure of the master was changed to be compatible with Boards Manager. This will prevent the attiny installation from having an out of date JSON file and will not require syncing the source files in the ide-1.6.x-boards-manager branch with master.

A readme with the correct json link (and maybe some instructions) would be cool. I know how the process works, but it took me a while to find the correct URL.

I agree, there is already a PR to add this: https://github.com/damellis/attiny/pull/30 but it would need to be updated to reflect the changes since that time.

Thanks! Sorry this took so long to merge.

No worries! I'm ready to add the new version to the JSON file any time. Please let me know if I should I go ahead with that now or if there are upcoming commits I should wait on.
