Support 'matrix' builds #20

Closed rossburton closed 3 years ago

rossburton commented 4 years ago

Say I have a base YAML file that but want to build it for a number of variations: six different machines, with musl or glibc, and two different distributions.

Currently that means 6 2 2 = 24 different yaml files would be needed. It would be good if kas supported matrix builds, similar to Travis, so that these variations could be simply listed in a top-level yml that expands out to all of the required builds.

Have a look at https://kas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide.html#including-configuration-files-via-the-command-line.

You might want to include the URL to the mailing list when you say that :smiley_cat:

@rossburton , I think it's important to keep kas as simple as possible - and to leave the heavy lifting to bitbake. I would suggest looking into multilib. I would start with this post Docs / Wind River Linux Platform Developer's Guide, 9 / Configuration and Build / Platform Project Image Configuration Overview / Creating Multiple Configuration Builds.
