Re: [iot-pmc] top-level GitHub project

[Kai Kreuzer <kai@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeroen,

Please wait with creating an according Bugzilla ticket - while it is in general technically possible, we would like to discuss this within the PMC (which is together at ECE this week).
Also note that a TLOrg won’t allow you to add a (2) forked sourceforge project, so this actually won’t help you much (EMO, correct me, if I am wrong).

Cheers,
Kai

>>> I've got a question regarding the possibility of making cyclonedds a top-level GitHub project. I'm not sure if this is the right list to ask that question, if it isn't, please let me know the right list. If it is, and I'm looking at the problem in the wrong way, please let me know too. It's just that making it a top-level project seems like the best solution.

>>> 2. Dependencies. We're planning on implementing a better IDL compiler to get quicker build and drop the Java dependency. Because we're looking to implement support for more language bindings, now seems like the right time to do that. Now, the IDL compiler will need a preprocessor. We've more-or-less decided to go with mcpp (http://mcpp.sourceforge.net/). The product itself is hosted on SourceForge, which is a little slow and code is still hosted in svn. The biggest problem however is that the original author isn't doing any work on the project anymore and nobody can accept patches etc. For that reason we want to "fork" it (svn import on GitHub) to fix some small bugs etc. In my opinion hosting the project under a top-level cyclonedds GitHub project is the best place. That way it's neatly separated from the cyclonedds code while all members/privileges etc can be managed by the project leads and committers.
