Re: [cdt-dev] Vote for new CDT features

1.  0 
2.  -1 
3.  +1

I just tried it out, it let me install all the features at once (via 
Selected Updates) so as long as we document that (have we posted the FAQ 
recently btw?) we should be OK.

[cdt-dev] Vote for new CDT features






Hey all, now that we've extracted the builders out of the CDT "platform", 
the CDT platform features become pretty useless on their own.  To help the 

user who is simply downloading the CDT from the update site, I see two 
alternatives to make their life easier (and one not):

1) Create new CDT "product" features that include the CDT platform and the 

two make builders. This would be one new feature/plugin combination for 
each os.ws we currently have.
2) Include dependencies from the current platform features to the two make 

builders and have those who want to remove the builders from their 
products to hand edit the feature.xml files off stream.
3) Too bad, they'll just have to get used to downloading all the features 
the want individually and we'll deal with the user mistakes in the 
newgroups/bugzilla.

I'd like to see a vote by the various committers on this as to which 
alternative they prefer.

I am +1 on option 2, -1 on option 3, and a zero (in more ways than one) on 

option 1.
