[PROBLEM] Recommended way to build Moode image during development

[a philpott]

I'm playing around making some modifications to Moode, and wondering what the recommended way to build images during development and testing is. I'm guessing it's to use https://github.com/moode-player/mosbuild, but that downloads a zip of a published release from the Moode website. I managed to hack around with it to get it to build using my local checkout of the Moode code which had my changes in it, but I'm wondering if there's already a standard way to do this.

To use the builder follow the instructions in the Build Requirements section.
https://github.com/moode-player/mosbuild

I alway use the USB-SDCard method after the first stage of the build completes.

After a successful build the image can be used as a base for development. I would recommend having a master image named moode and then one or two other named images for example rp1 and rp2 that can be used for testing and development. You can easily create these other images by first making a copy of the moode image and then placing a file named moodecfg.txt in /boot. The specification for this file is in the Setup guide. https://github.com/moode-player/moode/bl.../setup.txt

You can either clone the moode repo or download the sources zip to create a local copy in your dev machines file system then create a share to the sources root. Mount the share from the Pi and copy your modified source files into the corresponding dirs on the Pi for testing.

This is essentially my workflow.
