Previously if updating a branch in the ARMmbed version of an example
repo, the branch would be created initially from master. This update
allows the new branch to be created by any pre-existing branch.
This update also moves the branch / fork / tag configuration data to the
json config file. It thus simplifies the command line.
-b on its own now indicates use the branch information in the config
-f on its own now indicates use the fork information in the config
Adding the new compile option allows the marking of a set of examples to
indicate whether they should be compiled or not. For the update process
examples that are not compiled will not be auto updated irrespective of
that setting.
Other changes to make return logic from some functions in update.py more
efficient and some typos in the lib file.
Changes:
Refactor examples.py to add a new command line option to provide an update
tag.
Refactor examples.py to add new functionality to update the version of
mbed-os in the examples to a supplied tag.
Refactor examples.py to make cloning the example repos, updating their
mbed-os version and compiling, into library functions and move to a new
library module.
Refactor the format of the examples.json file to make it compatible with
both examples.py and update.py.
Refactor update.py so that examples are test compiled prior to updating.
Refactor update.py so that only examples tagged as auto-updatable and that
fully compile are automatically updated.
As mbed-events is being brought into the mbed-os tree, the examples
using the external mbed-events library will fail due to duplicate
definitions.
The tests for BLE examples will be readded after the examples are
updated to only use the mbed-events library in the mbed-os tree.
