Re: [Geany-devel] Code formatter

Looking through the plugins project/website, I didn't see anything like it, and if not I think I'd enjoy working on it in my free time, I just wanted to double check before investing a bunch of time. This may solve your issue partially: http://editorconfig.org Currently you can only deal with indentation using it.

Most of the time changes are not actually trivial. Also multiple small and trivial changes can be submitted as a single pull request. Anyway this is the linux kernel dev model and it works good (for some projects) even if tiny changes need to go through the chain as well. OK, that should be fine.

Well, of course the geany-plugins is packaged for at least some distros, in particular debian and ubuntu. That will of course get greater exposure, and maybe contributions, and also maybe bug reports :) BTW you mentioned a third party library, but you didn't say what library. It would of course have to have a suitable license to allow it to be included. The library is here: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-core It is released under Simplified BSD License.

This repository seems better maintained than mine. I didn't have a look onto you code by now but in general you can add you plugin also to geany-plugins project. I'd prefer you to having you own fork of plugins and sending pull request against geany/geany-plguins/master The second problem is that, how should I bundle a third party C library with my plugin? I think Matthew answered here very well. It really depends on how common this library is or if you are patching it in some kind. Well... I don't like shipping to much libraries with one plugin as there is always an question of updates in terms of a security fault etc. Also this might could cause ending up in typical Windows scenario where you are might having GTK installed about 1000 times - each GTK serving its own application. So: if the library is typical packaged for target platforms or if its available via a common way (e.g. ppa on Ubuntu, some of the rpm-pages for SuSE or Fedora/RH/SL) and you don't have any patches inside I wouldn't deliver it with the plugin but depend on it. Currently, the library is not commonly distributed under common distributions. The library URL is: https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-core There's a problem here: the library build system is based on CMake, while the geany-plugins project supports both autotools and waf. If I want to include the source in my code, I would probably have to reproduce the cmake build system using autotools. Do you have any suggestions handling a CMake third party library in geany-plugins? And do I also need to support BOTH the two build systems?
