| [linux-distros-dev] Initial Code Contribution |
Hi, I'd like to see the RPM and OProfile work that Red Hat did and which is currently hosted as part of the CDT (cdt-contrib) be a part of the Linux Distributions project. I think it makes more sense for it to be here since it's not CDT-specific. It isn't actually included in the CDT drops so there won't be anything missing on that side. I'd also like to move the plugins we have hosted on sourceware.org/eclipse to the Linux Distros project. This includes the RPM specfile editor I've been working on as well as the Bugzilla plugin -- which will hopefully be made to work with Mylar soon -- and the ChangeLog plugin. All of these plugins are more Linux Distribution-specific than CDT/Fedora/Red Hat-specific and we'd like to see this reflected in where they are hosted and developed. I think the plugins could really benefit from exercise/use/development by multiple distributions. It goes without saying that I also think the project could benefit from the plugins being under its umbrella. Bjorn/Ian: what are the next steps here? The RPM and OProfile stuff that's currently hosted on eclipse.org shouldn't be a problem from an IP POV, right? Doug: do you have any objections to moving the RPM and OProfile stuff? I'm not proposing that we remove any use of the CDT but I'd like to see them become more like open source CDT adopters. Thanks, Andrew
