Re: [nebula-dev] About having 2 builds
|
Soon there will be 2 seperate projects. The upcoming structure is:
Nebula
+ Nebula-Proper
+ Nebula-Incubation
+ NatTable (depending on the ongoing discussion)
The reason is that we keep Nebula-Incubation is Incubation status and so
we have the advantage of Parallel IP, ... . Our build system today
already reflects the future project structure.
So -1 on merging the builds.
