| // Package Profiles, and its children, provide implementations of the |
| // veyron2.Profile interface. These implementations should import all of the |
| // packages that they require to implement Profile-specific functionality. |
| // |
| // The taxonomy used to organise Profiles may be arbitrary and the directory |
| // structure used here is just one convention for how to do so. This directory |
| // structure reflects the generality of a Profile at any given depth in the |
| // hierarchy, with higher levels of the directory structure being more |
| // generic and lower levels more specific. |
| // |
| // Profiles register themselves by calling veyron2/rt.RegisterProfile in their |
| // init function and are hence are chosen by importing them into an |
| // applications main package. More specific packages may use functionality |
| // exposed by more general packages and rely on go's module dependency |
| // algorithm to execute the init function from the more specific package |
| // after the less specific one and hence override the earlier Profile |
| // registration. |
| // |
| // This top level directory contains a 'generic' Profile and utility routines |
| // used by other Profiles. It does not follow the convention of registering |
| // itself via its Init function, since the expected use is that it will |
| // used automatically as a default by the Runtime. Instead it provides a New |
| // function. This avoids the need for every main package to import |
| // "veyron.io/veyron/veyron/profiles", instead, only more specific Profiles must be so imported. |
| // |
| // The 'net' Profile adds operating system support for varied network |
| // configurations and in particular dhcp. It should be used by any application |
| // that may 'roam' or any may be behind a 1-1 NAT. |
| // |
| // The 'net/bluetooth' Profile adds operating system support for bluetooth |
| // networking. |
