action: permit skipping dependency installation #30

I was gonna ask the same, but I'm sure I'm missing something. |

That and the pip dependency installation with caching is all that is left, yeah. The reasoning for this change is that we're using this action in CI, and some CI jobs run within the Zephyr project docker container. setting a flag like this is just an optimization since those jobs only need the pip dependencies and west init steps. If you don't think this is useful I'm happy to close it- just wanted to reuse this workflow as much as possible within our CI and avoid repeating parts of it when we were running in a docker container |

I think it's fine, clearly you have a use case for it and it's backward compatible, just a bit worried by the amount of flags and conditions growing but I guess that's just how this is going to go. |
That's totally fair- another option here would be to instead check if the Zephyr SDK is present before we run setup, right? Rerunning the APT install command shouldn't have that much impact in a docker container, the main thing is the SDK install. If you'd prefer I can look at writing a detection method for that |

Yeah but then it's more logic, this at least is trivial, I think we can go with it. @kartben @henrikbrixandersen any opinion? |

i think 'skip-dependencies' is a bit too generic here, what dependencies exactly? we are talking about packages here, so maybe it should be explicit.
Maybe we could use package-group which can be set to none, but can also take other values, i.e. minimal, full, etc. with minimal including what we have now, full with more packages for special ops, like if we want coverage tools and such.

What defining package-groups, an array which can take values like so:
python: installs pip dependencies only (like whatskip-dependenciesdoes now)sdk: installs the Zephyr SDK onlybuild: installs build dependencies
The default value would then be [python, sdk, build] to install the same set as we have now

@nashif what are your thoughts on this suggestion? Would that make sense to get this moved forwards?

Support skipping os dependencies within the action. This is useful when running in a container where these dependencies are present. Signed-off-by: Daniel DeGrasse <[email protected]>
Add example of how to configure action to skip installing OS level dependencies and Zephyr SDK Signed-off-by: Daniel DeGrasse <[email protected]>

@nashif can you take a look? Haven't updated the action tag in a while, no pressure I can do it an any time but there's a bit of a backlog think I'll update the current HEAD tomorrow regardless |

@danieldegrasse - this could use a rebase |

Allow skipping the dependency installation within the setup process. This is useful for cases where the setup-zephyr action is run within a docker container that already has OS level dependencies and the Zephyr SDK installed
