| See details here: http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide |
| - Tarball the Buffet binaries and their required shared libraries under |
| //chromeos root dir as below: |
| chromeos |
| |__ bin -> buffet, buffet_client, buffet_test_daemon etc. |
| |__ lib -> libprotobuf, libpthread, libdbus etc. |
| - Ensure Buffet daemon can run and communicate with buffet_client in target box. |
| - Name the tarball 'google_buffet-<ChromeOS version>.tar.gz'. |
| - Drop the tarball in repo://vendor/google/tarballs |
| |
| |
| * This directory contains all necessary configs to build and setup Buffet in the |
| SpaceCast platform |
| - google_buffet.mk extracts the Buffet tarballs and setup the proper rootfs so |
| that Buffet is under //chroot/chromeos to utilize the ChromeOS environment. |
| - S99buffet starts Buffet daemon in init.d. |
