Re: [tracecompass-dev] Moving plugins to component sub-directories

Hi,

This is super interesting and exciting.

I would suggest we fix package tangle between the components before
going forward though. If not it will look like spaghetti dangling from
many pots instead of one.

It's completely orthogonal to packaging tangling. The package names or contents do not change.

Splitting tmf.core/ui in separate plugins though, that will reduce package/plugin tangle. But doing this will be less messy to do if "TMF" is in its own sub-directory already.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at moving all plugin directories in the source
tree to separate "component" directories. Like was done for doc/
already, so that eventually top-level would only contain:

btf/
ctf/
doc/
lttng/
tmf/
...

Some are not immediately clear where they should go (examples,
releng-site,...) but we'll see once we get there. ;)

I started with the BTF component, since it's quite simple and standalone:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/47104/
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/47105/

As explained in the first patch, I've renamed the feature plugins to
"*.feature". We've talked about adding the ".feature" to feature
plugin names previously, this is a good occasion to do so, since it
will free the o.e.t.{btf|ctf|...} names for the directories
themselves. I've added the previous names to the p2.inf files, so that
upgrades should follow the rename.

Is there anything else that could have slipped my mind?

I'm quite certain that this won't be all done in time for the feature
freeze, as more complex plugins with test traces and such will take
more time. Are we fine with just btf/ and pcap/ in 1.0, and the rest
later once stable-1.0 is branched?


Cheers,
Alexandre
