Re: [gmf-dev] Tiger GMF Transformation

[Richard Gronback <richard.gronback@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Karsten,

And what is the progress on becoming part of GMT?  We'd not likely introduce
a dependency from GMF to a component in GMT; that is, outside of something
we'd include in our "experimental" SDK.

I'd be helpful to assess the impact of the changes you've made if a patch
were attached to a bugzilla using the released 2.0 stream code base.

Thanks,
Rich
