We are using OpenMRS-SDK to build our OpenMRS distribution. We want to bundle an OWA as well as part of our distro.

By default I think, the sdk always expects all the OWAs to come from openmrs bintray. For example owa.openmrs-owa-sysadmin will be fetched as https://dl.bintray.com/openmrs/owa/SystemAdministration-1.2.zip. Is there a way to override this URL from where the OWA is being fetched from?

We would like to be able to:

  • Use a local zip file while building the distro for local development, till the changes are published.
  • Fetch it from a file server URL for test and production environment (not openmrs bintray).

It looks very trivial but we couldn’t find a mention in docs as well. Let us know if we are missing something. Thanks

Sure @dkayiwa,

Created one here. https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/SDK-242. I have not added the fields which I was not sure of.

@dkayiwa, I have not looked into the code of openmrs-sdk and I am not really sure, how much work this is? Would you able to provide some information around that?
