Hi all, It's great that there are new projects starting based on erlide! Wrangler is now an old friend, lately (i.e. from 0.9.0) we have tracing (ttb) integration and it looks like there are others in the preparation.
Until now, it has been easiest to put everything in the main erlide repository, but as the codebase grows, this becomes less practical. Partly it is because git is not like svn, mixed-revision checkouts are not possible, and the different projects have different development rhythm. Partly it is because we had requirements from users that they should be able to choose if and when when to install these extensions, so that they (the users) can verify that they (the extensions) don't crash anything. Other reasons are that it will force us to evolve a clean API for the erlide internals and that it will be clearer who is responsible for which part of the code. For these reasons, if you start working on something that isn't a bug fix for the core erlide, please store your code in a separate repository. If you want, we can add an "official" repository under the erlide GitHub account, in which case we will try to take care of automating builds and tests and deployment to the update site. Also, any extension will have to be a separate Eclipse feature that will be optional to install together with erlide. I started to extract such extensions from erlide myself. More details about how what this means in practice will be posted on the wiki http://github.com/erlide/erlide/wiki. If you need to get started before I publish anything, just ask me. There will be things to fix and patch to make it work, but we'll fix and patch them and in the process make a better product. (Wrangler and tracing are now in the main repository. It's not possible to extract the history of just these projects in order to create separate repositories and it's up to the respective developers if they want to start afresh in a new repository (without history) or they want to keep going as it is). If you have questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask. best regards, Vlad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Erlide-devel mailing list Erlide-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/erlide-devel
