| Re: [corrosion-dev] Removing Corrosion from SimRel 2020-09? |
|
Hey all, Just my 2 cents: I also think this would not make a huge difference for the Corrosion end users, as long as Corrosion is still part of the EPP. We only have to update the installation
documentation. In terms of community perception, I cannot tell if this decision would make any difference. Also, for many reasons I am currently unable to really contribute to Corrosion and test in time for SimRel releases.
This will change, but without being able to provide steady contribution and “dogfooding”, it may even be safer for to withdraw from SimRel. Best regards, Max Von: corrosion-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx <corrosion-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Im Auftrag von Mickael Istria Hi all, I'm considering whether it makes sense to have Corrosion part of SimRel, and what is the added-value of being in SimRel for Corrosion? IMO, the vast majority of Corrosion users install it via Marketplace or use the "Eclipse IDE for Rust Developers" from EPP; in case of Marketplace they then get updates by the Corrosion p2 repo, in case of EPP, via SimRel. EPP allows to consume directly other p2 repos than SimRel, so I'm thinking that maybe it'd be better to just stop pushing Corrosion to SimRel (that's one less step to do in case of new release) and instead just make the EPP package reference
Corrosion p2 repo. I believe this would reduce the maintenance effort and give Corrosion more control over what it ships to EPP without intermediary steps. And, as mentioned above, I don't foresee it degrading the user experience in any way. Does anyone have concerns with that? If not, I'll start taking those changes in SimRel and EPP soon after 2020-06 is released. Cheers, -- Mickael Istria Eclipse IDE developer, for
