About edk2-platforms release

Hi Martin, Leif,

 

Right now we are using edk2-platforms open source code as a part to build our ARM platform UEFI implementations.

Due to our production development work flow, we need to upload a formal edk2-platforms open source release tar ball

to our company database as a reference.

As edk2-platforms doesn’t have release, it is hard for us to explain to company audit office where the code comes from

and why this open source doesn’t have release.

 

So is it possible to release edk2-platforms just like edk2 release every three months?

 

Thanks,

Ming

So - first of all, you can always reference a commit hash for your
upload. That will never change.

We have discussed doing that. Realistically, I don't think we're going
to hit that for 2020.08, but having public requests for it like this
will certainly help push it higher up on the todo list.

Best Regards,

Leif

As almost all of open source projects have release version, if possible we wish
edk2-platforms can have released version for 2020.11.

Thanks,
