Hi all,
We often get contributions for adding custom filetypes to Geany, and
we even have some in the source tree already. We tend to not want to
add them to Geany repo, usually due to limited functionality, or
limited popularity.
I would like to propose that we add a new repository to Github,
similar to geany-themes, where we add any custom filetypes that are
useful, but perhaps aren't up to par or popular enough to add to Geany
proper. This would give a single place to get them all at once (via
Git or Github Zip file download), and also a repo for packagers to use
should they want to provide a package.
Inside the repo we could have the README or some other file cataloging
all the filetypes, along with who contributed them, their status, like
whether tag parsing works, syntax lexing, and such meta info. As a
start, we could add all of the filetypes from the Wiki[0], any useful
ones from pull requests, and even any questionable ones already in
Geany (if there are any). We could also add some shell script or
something to install them into a user's home dir all at once, if
that's useful.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
