Re: [virgo-dev] Snaps

Hi Wayne

Perhaps some other examples would help. The Virgo project includes several samples which we have traditionally released with their own independent version numbers and on schedules somewhat disconnected from that of Virgo (and previously dm Server). It seems like we need the EDP to change in order to continue that practice, otherwise we'll need a separate subproject for each sample which would, IMHO, be bureaucracy gone mad given that some of the samples are quite small.

We are also in the process of contributing the bundlor tool and the eclipse based Virgo tooling into Virgo and these also have independent version numbers and disconnected release cycles: another couple of subprojects unless the EDP can be changed.

I guess a fully-fledged runtime with associated runtime libraries (e.g. snaps), samples, and tooling is unlike the older Eclipse IDE project which targets a release train and is essentially a collection of IDE plugins.

So please can you give some more thought to changing the EDP?

Regards,
Glyn
