Let `west` determine revision for modules when the `import` is not declared

Can west determines modules revision when import is not specified?

From zephyr doc:

The main advantage to using import is not having to track the revisions of imported projects separately. In the above example, using import means Zephyr’s module versions are automatically determined from the zephyr/west.yml revision, instead of having to be copy/pasted (and maintained) on their own.

Any interest in patching this limitation?

My use-case:

I would want to specify the required modules. It is possible as of now, but it would be nice if west could figure the revision of the specified module.

Example west.yml:

manifest:
  remotes:
    - name: zephyrproject-rtos
      url-base: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos
  defaults:
    remote: zephyrproject-rtos
  projects:
    - name: zephyr
      remote: zephyrproject-rtos
      revision: v2.5.0
      west-commands: scripts/west-commands.yml
    - name: hal_st
      path: modules/hal/st
      groups:
        - hal
    - name: hal_stm32
      path: modules/hal/stm32
      groups:
        - hal
    - name: cmsis
      path: modules/hal/cmsis
      groups:
        - hal

  self:
    path: NUCLEOH723

@manoj153 Why don’t you want to use import ?

I think what you’re asking for in terms of reusing revision from Zephyr can be achieved with this:

manifest:
  remotes:
    - name: zephyrproject-rtos
      url-base: https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos
  defaults:
    remote: zephyrproject-rtos
  projects:
    - name: zephyr
      remote: zephyrproject-rtos
      revision: v2.5.0
      west-commands: scripts/west-commands.yml
      import:
        name-allowlist:
        - hal_st
        - hal_stm32
        - cmsis

  self:
    path: NUCLEOH723

that will import those three specific projects from Zephyr exactly at the revision specified in the Zephyr manifest, and no other projects.

What I fail to understand is why you want to avoid import with name-allowlist ?

import:
        name-allowlist:

works thus closing this issue
