----------------------------------------
Github user fumoboy007 commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1084
> SE-0162 [
https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0162-package-manager-custom-target-layouts.md
] added API for controlling where the source files for each target should be
found. This allows SwiftPM to support source trees that don't conform to the
standard package layout conventions.
Can we take advantage of this so that people can use the library from the
official repo?

> Key: THRIFT-3773
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3773
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Swift - Library
> Reporter: Thomas Bartelmess
> Assignee: Chris Simpson
>
> We already have the option to generate Swift code in the Cocoa compiler,
> however large parts of the (Objective-C) Cocoa Library still depend on Cocoa
> and Objective-C.
> It would be good to have a native Swift library that doesn't depend on the
> Cocoa libraries.
> Design goals:
> - Fully compatible with the code that is currently generated by the Cocoa
> compiler (both Objective-C and Swift).
> - Ability to run on Linux
> - Pure Swift, no Objective-C code.
> - No dependencies on closed source apple libraries
> - Keep the same interface, so that the library is compatible with the code
> the current cocoa compiler generates
> - Better server support that the current Objective-C library.
> - Follow the new Swift packaging format to be compatible with the Swift
> Package manager
