Re: [virgo-dev] Snaps 
Hi Glyn. Actually, so long as it makes sense, a subproject can inherit
their parent project's CQs. Any CQs that are specific to the subproject
can be raised against the subproject.

This can make moves and independent releases a little more complicated
as you would need to make sure that your IP Logs accurately reflect the
contained IP. In the case of an eventual move of the subproject, you
would have to identify CQs that belong to the subproject and possibly
make some piggybacks. But that's a problem for later.

FWIW, the eclipse.platform and several modeling projects do this today.

Ultimately, there is some flexiblity in how this can be structured. If
Snaps really is an independent thing that falls comfortably within the
scope of Virgo, but with a unique set of committers and its own separate
release schedule, then it probably makes sense for it to be a subproject.

HTH,

Wayne
