| [linuxtools-dev] Request To Change Project Metadata To Type_A |
A long while ago, I filed CQs for dockerfile-language-server-nodejs [1] and Dockerfile.tmLanguage [2] in order to consider using the generic editor (lsp4e + tm4e) to have editing capabilities for Dockerfile files. This was to replace the existing Dockerfile editor and benefit from improvements made upstream at https://github.com/rcjsuen/dockerfile-language-server-nodejs/ This work exists and was ready to be pushed, but the one remaining issue was that dockerfile-language-server-nodejs had many dependencies that also needed to be shipped in the plugin and Type_B CQs didn't seem possible. With Type_A, which only requires license certification this seems like a possibility, so with the new CQ, these would require us to change Linux Tools to a Type_A project. [3] Curious on people's thoughts. This should at least reduce the maintenance load associated with updating the Dockerfile editor plugin, as the support for the format would be delegated to the nodejs module.
