[M3devel] examples should not be in PkgInfo.txt

[Randy Coleburn]

Agree that they are useful for CM3IDE.
 
Is there a way to have CM3IDE ship this folder to the cm3 root, e.g.,
C:\cm3\examples, when it is built and shipped?  Otherwise, user has to
know to copy the folder there.  This only has to be done once, so
copying the folder at the time CM3IDE is built and installed seems
logical.
 
Examples folder is strictly a set of source packages.  There should be
no derived files there.  When user browses to a particular example in
CM3IDE and asks to build it, CM3IDE will create a package containing the
source of the example and the derived files in the user's private
repository.  That way each user gets their own private copy to muck
around with.
 
Indeed, entire examples folder tree can be marked read-only without any
ill-effect because of the way CM3IDE works.

Randy

I put them there, because they were not packed into the installation
archives. They can also not be build with the usual tooling at all.

What's the problem with them being included in the package list?

If they are only useful for cm3ide, they should probably be part of
that package (i.e. moved from cm3/examples to
cm3/m3-sys/cm3ide/examples).
