[ofw] Open issues in bulding process

[Anatoly Greenblatt]

Hi,

 

I'd like to clarify/discuss/bring to your attention following issues:

1.	Digital signatures. There are several ways to sign drivers. The
signature could be taken from file, storage etc. Although
sign-drivers.bat receive a signature name as a parameter, the actual
signature is assumed to be in cse1Store. Few words of explanation about
signature location would be very helpful.
2.	Wdfcoinstaller01007. I found the following in wdk 6001.18001:
"If you downloaded and installed the Windows Server 2008 WDK {Version
6001.18000} which contained the KMDF and UMDF version 1.7 installers, DO
NOT DISTRIBUTE DRIVER PACKAGES WHICH CONTAIN THE 1.7 INSTALLERS." Is
this taken into consideration?
3.	.Inf files stamping. It would make sense to stamp files at their
source location once at the beginning of building process, or at their
final location during drivers signing when all .inf files are gathered
in folders - hca, net, storage, etc... I also noticed that not all .inf
files are copied to their locations in wix\...\bin because makebin tries
to copy .inf file from source location, where the file has been renamed
to .inx.
