Perhaps not a practical reason, but it helps to keep the mainline clean
of any ported code. Making the HelenOS code a first-class citizen, a
distinction between ours and theirs. We can enforce different standards
on the two bases (cstyles, optimization options, warning levels, licesnes).
I agree totally.
I also see some practical reasons: If you want to work on the mainline
of HelenOS (the core part of our system, the code that is "ours"), you
don't have to carry around a lot of 3rd party code that is not necessary
for the mainline.
On the other hand, it would be practical, to have coastline matrix
rebuilt every time there is a push to mainline, to see whether somthing
broke.
Sure. Once Vojta pushes his code to the official repo, I can write and
debug some hooks for that.
Finally, should not be libposix moved to coastline as well? It has only
a very limited reason to exist without it.
I agree.
M.D.
