Based on that I think including would be fine.

Well please include it to autotools if ever possible. Even cmake
might have some advantages (cannot say) I don't see any chance in terms
of man power etc to have it also maintained.

Rethinking about . well, you might are correct. In terms of
distribution as we most likely will do, LPGL should also be fine.
Sorry -  my fault. 
In terms of BSD I'm thinking about some special parts e.g. calling
author's names inside credits I saw in past. But should not be
apply able on our case

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?

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. So I believe this is not an 
issue.

Well... You don't need to care about releases, some translations topics
and some minor changes. Also in terms of visibility. But I don't think
its really needed for every plugin to be part of, no.

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

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.

We already had another section for "Thirdparty plugins" in the

mentioned there were outdated or moved into the Geany-Plugins project
itself and that section thus wasn't necessary anymore. :)

It would be no big deal to introduce it again if you like. You can just

If you're going to add your plugin to the Geany-Plugins project as well,
be advised I have another mail from Matthew flagged as "TODO" for the
plugins.geany.org website.

At present it is generating the navigation from a tagged release in Git.
I like Matthews idea to add plugins from the master branch when they
don't exist in the tagged release yet and add a hint to the generated
page that that specific plugin is under development. Only thing missing
is the implementation... :)

Dominic

We already had another section for "Thirdparty plugins" in the
navigation. I removed the section because every of those three plugins
mentioned there were outdated or moved into the Geany-Plugins project
itself and that section thus wasn't necessary anymore. :)

It would be no big deal to introduce it again if you like. You can just
open another pull request for the plugins.geany.org website and I'll
have a look on it as soon as I find the time to do that. :)

Regards,
Dominic

I would assume it's OK, but you'll need to "be approved" by the
Geany-Plugins maintainer. Usually if you have a useful plugin that's
well coded enough, you just ask like you did and work with the
maintainer and other devs to integrate the plugin. You happen to have
asked right as the maintainer and other devs are preparing for a majour
release, so it kind of explains the silence to your question.


Ok, thanks!




The second problem is that, how should I bundle a third party C library
with my plugin?



If the library is readily available on the target platforms, you depend
on it using the build system and link it in (many plugins do this). If
it's really obscure or not packaged anywhere then you could just compile
its sources into your plugins'. The latter is what the Devhelp plugin
does for libdevhelp since it's not packaged for GTK+2 anymore on the
target platforms, but it's still quite a stupid thing to do.


Yes, this seems not reasonable, but I still need to do so. The library 
isn't available anywhere on the target system.


P.S. If you don't get any further with adding your plugin to the
project, wait until you see the release announcement for Geany-Plugins
here then you will know when people will be freed up more to help you.



Alright. I'll be waiting :)

Patience, the plugin project is trying to get a release out.  I am
sure they will help you as soon as they can.
