This repo is for the control of MERG cbusdefs files. It allows a variety of language specific cbus definitions files from a single version controlled source CSV file.
The generate.sh script is a bash that can be executed using "Git Bash" which is part of the git download (https://git-scm.com/downloads).
The current generate.sh script produces the following output files from the cbusdefs.csv:
- cbusdefs.h - C
- cbusdefs.inc - Assembler
- cbusdefs.pas - Object Pascal
- CbusDefs - C#.NET 5.0 (Core) solution that contains T4 templates to generate files for C#. The generated files should be suitable for .NET Framework projects.
- java/* - Java
MERG will occasionally update cbusdefs. This has historically be done as a zip file of named-versioned files such as cbusdefs8r.h, cbusdefs8r.inc, cbusdefs8r.pas. The ZIP has historically been put onto the MERG wiki (https://www.merg.org.uk/merg_wiki/doku.php?id=cbus:cbus-headers). Note: You must be a MERG member to access this page.
Whenever a new version of cbusdefs is released then the respective changes in cbusdefs.csv can be made and the generate.sh script used to regenerate the language specific files. Once the language specific files have been generated then all the changes can be pushed back to github with a commit comment referencing the MERG wiki's version number.
Users of the repo can pull a new copy and access the language specific files directly.
A zip of the new generated files can also be uploaded onto the MERG Knowledgebase/Wiki for those who do not use GitHub.
