Am I correct in thinking that your concerns around removing these
files are entirely a result of a belief that the structure of the code
should be optimised for bulk upgrades from an external source base?
It sounds like there is/will/reallyshouldbe two different blobs of
code in the source tree:
The baseline ATT sources, exactly as delivered by ATT
and
A derived set of OpenSolaris source files
In much the same way that we generate C sources via rpcgen, the
ksh93 build process could [diff/patch, rename, exclude, etc] the
files found in the baseline tree to create the OpenSolaris-specific
source tree. And then build that tree.
No.
No no no no no.
No.
This is not analogous to rpcgen, this is patching a fairly large component
into the ON world *at build time*. Such that we don't actually have the
sources we build in the tree at all, but instead have the original sources
and a collection of hard to maintain, impossible to cscope, impossible to
opengrok patches and scripts to perturb them into buildable form as part of
the build.
This is work that should be done prior to integration, with only the results
being integrated. In fact, this is work Roland *has* done prior to
integration, what we're discussing is the "with only the results..." part.
Did I say No already?
Please. No.
