Description

It's not possible to make packages outside of RIOT's tree, the way it can be done for modules with EXTERNAL_MODULE_DIRS. I get:

make[1]: *** /home/jdavid/sandboxes/UiO/wsn_riot/RIOT/pkg/arduino_sparkfun_bme280: No such file or directory.  Stop.

I added the package to our own tree wsn_riot/pkg but it looks for the package in RIOT's tree. Tried adding EXTERNAL_MODULE_DIRS, didn't find a way in the documentation.

We have to package many Arduino libraries for sensors and it would be easier to do if it was possible to package them out of RIOT's tree, as it's possible to do with sys modules and drivers. This would help others that need the same.

None. This concerns the RIOT build system.
