Hi, I should clarify for anyone that doesn't know: the X-Wrt project is NOT a firmware project, its merely package development to enhance the end user experience. So, there is zero competition between freewrt and us.
My concern here is that already since you grabbed the alpha snapshot there's been about 50 commits. A lot of things have changed and been improved, so you're already stuck with old code.. and that bothers me. I'd rather you have the latest and greatest code. I figured somebody would know of a way to keep two projects in sync, and Mirabilis did. I will look into it more later and we can discuss details. I am sure we will drift apart in many areas. The question is, is it less work to try to combine our sometimes differing ideals into one package or to constantly port back and forth each other's work? It is more work in one way to try to work together.. we'll need more abstraction, like eJunky said with a 'wrapper'. Its more work in another way to work independently fo each other. Which is less work? Maybe it's hard to know at this point. As far as splitting the webif page organization up so that they have a more package-level granularity, I certainly have no problem with that. For some packages we were going to do this anyway, and for the more common packages we plan to query the user to install the package if its missing (as opposed to not show them anything). Maybe we can pull this cooperation off.. maybe we can't. If there's resistance, then I'm not going to fight to make it work. Perhaps its an idealist dream anyway. If nothing else works, I do suggest at the very least you wait until we have certified milestones before grabbing snapshots.. that way you are less likely to get a bunch of code full of bugs and is otherwise half-baked. -- Jeremy Collake _______________________________________________ freewrt-developers mailing list [email protected] https://www.freewrt.org/lists/listinfo/freewrt-developers
