Hi, Original discussion is here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/8727#issuecomment-368495179
The state quo: Julia binding is hosted in a separated repo `dmlc/MXNet.jl`[1], Julia binding has its own documentation hosting[2] and release cycle[3]. The problem: We ran into libmxnet internal changes breaking our testing again and again [4-7]. Julia binding isn't in the libmxnet CI validation chain. @marcoabreu proposes that merging the Julia binding source code and development into the main repo `apache/incubator-mxnet`; add Julia test cases into the CI chain. Additionally, make the `dmlc/MXNet.jl` as a mirror repo, in order to fit with Julia's package manger [10]. About the reason of hosting Julia code in another repo at the moment, Please see [8]. There are still several issues need to be discussed for this goal [11]: -How to |`git tag`| a new release? Julia binding can have different version and release cycle. - @vchuravy proposes that doing a |`git subtree|` import of MXNet.jl into `|incubator-mxnet/julia`| [9]. - Document hosting: I have no idea about any detail of Sphinx at all. Julia's doc system is |Documenter.jl|, which launches Julia compiler, collects docstring from package and render the static html as output. If Sphinx can accept some extra html files from external source, I guess most of work is done. - Committer bit: There are 3 developers own the committer bit of MXNet.jl. @pluskid, @vchuravy and me. Will this be able to migrate as well? - Quote @marcoabreu's words from [12]: > I have to check back, but since you three are putting a lot of time and > effort into supporting MXNet, I don't see many issues there. > I'm unfamiliar with the Apache process if two projects get merged, > but I'm sure we will find a solution.
