[edk2-devel] [PATCH] BaseTools/Scripts: Add scripts to set PACKAGES_PATH environment

[Sean via groups.io]

I am not a fan of this.  The community and design meetings have had a few discussions about tools (PyTools has been presented twice) and a few brief discussions about common patterns to build platforms but I don't think there is real alignment.  Each "platform" has its own way of doing things.

As for this patch, I don't really want to see a bunch of scripts added to edk2 basetools that are not aligned with a community agreed direction (or any clear direction).  It has also been brought up that basetools as a python package/project is a challenge to work with and has some fundamental problems.  Adding more in a similar design pattern is not how we start fixing it.   As an example for edk2-pytools, an RFC was offered and even then it was added as its own repositories to avoid more directly to the edk2 repo.

@Mike K - Any progress on getting a tools subtream setup?  Any governance ideas to help align these efforts.

Thanks
Sean
