Hello folks,
I would like to combine the main CDT git repo, launchbar
and tools.templates repo. At the moment I am spending quite a
bit of time simply managing three git repos, with three p2
deployments, simrel contributions, etc. Most of the nearly 100
items on the
endgame plan need to be done for
each of the repos.
Originally when launchbar and tools.template were created I
believe there was the hope that they would be adopted by
projects or otherwise move higher in the tool stack. There
hasn't been much movement in that direction, so as CDT is
likely to be the home for these for the foreseeable future I
propose having only 1 git repo and corresponding p2 repo. The
git history will be preserved by merging the different git
repos together. The names of the plug-ins are not changing and
if someone in the future wants to move launchbar or
tools.templates to a new home we can do that then.
To that end I have created
Bug 558439 and
made a branch that does combine
all these things. My intention is to merge that branch into
master in the coming days, but I want to allow some time for
objections or comments first, so I won't do it this week to
allow enough time for comments.
Thank you,
Jonah
