| Re: [iot-pmc] top-level GitHub project |
Hi Kai,
Well we need it primarily for our own Conan recipes (build dependency
build recipes), currently six or so, and faster Travis and AppVeyor
builds. The recipes are all written by me btw, so no forking involved
there.
That being said, and this just out of curiosity and trying to understand
the reasons, mcpp is very likely to become a dependency for cyclonedds,
one that we must have to do code generation. mcpp is a fine project, but
it's not very actively maintained. I could just write a Conan recipe and
keep some patches on the side, or I could fork it under the ADLINK-IST
GitHub organization, but it all boils down to the same thing really.
What's wrong with keeping a dependency directly under the projects
control? Keeping some level of control over it is actually why I thought
it would be a good idea.
Cheers,
Jeroen
