Hello,
Does anyone have a simple step-by-step guide for the initial set-up of a new depot, and publishing a first package to it?
I took a first try at this, mainly following "Genode Foundations" (and trying to document my steps, in the hope of writing a beginner's guide for Genodians.org). But I seem to be missing something, because the "publish" tool is giving me an error.
This is obviously a simple process, so I thought I'd ask here first, before wasting time trying to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks!

Did you have a look at this:
https://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/package_management
Apart from this and the Foundations Book, I don't know further resources but a step-by-step Genodians tutorial might be indeed a good idea.

It may be helpful if you could post your command line and the output it produces.

Well, my command line doesn't give any output at all, so it looks like I'm going to have to start at the beginning. ;^)
I'm sure that I'm missing something obvious. In fact, the entire premise of my experiment may be wrong.
1. I started with a completely fresh copy of the Genode tree from GitHub.
2. Did "create_builddir x86_64". (which might be useless)
3. Created a "jjkarcher" directory under "genode/depot".
4. Created "pubkey" and "download" files in "jjkarcher", as described in "Genode Foundations".
So far, things seem pretty simple. Now, in order to create an absolutely minimal test, I decided to create a recipe for a "RAW" archive, containing just a text file. Looking through the existing RAW recipes, I decided to steal the basic idea from "sticks_blue_backdrop" and "genode_bg".
5. Created "genode/repos/gems/recipes/raw/dummy_text" directory.
6. Created "content.mk" file:
~~~ content: dummy.txt
dummy.txt: cp $(REP_DIR)/recipes/raw/dummy_text/$@ $@ ~~~
7. Created "hash" file:
~~~ 2019-06-04 000000 ~~~
8. Created "dummy.txt" file:
~~~ This is a dummy text file ~~~
At this point, I attempted several variations of "./tool/depot/build", but nothing seems to happen, including no command line output. I also played around with the recipe a little bit ("sticks_blue_backdrop" and "genode_bg" are structured slightly differently), but with the same (lack of) results.
Again, sorry for the elementary questions. But hopefully the answers/guidance will be useful to someone reading this in the future.
Thanks!
