We have requested the EMO to allow usage of the existing ESLint rules. The project added a Contributor License Agreement which was necessary to allow Orion to consume newer versions of ESLint. However, the CLA does not apply retroactively, so the existing rules can not be accepted. The only way EMO
will change this decision is if the ESLint project lead performs a
provenance exercise, contacting all previous authors of the code (which are
numerous).

I'm asking since just yesterday the Eclipse Board approved usage of moment.js
and Bootstrap UI by the openK project.

These libraries had similar issues afaics, thus I was wondering if
orion project could try pursue this with libraries like eslint where
it obviously (at least to me ;) looks like life would be easier if we
could update more actively to the upstream versions.

The process for this is that the project (in this case Orion) ask the EMO
to request approval for an exception from the board.

This is described in Exhibit C on the IP Policy here: https://eclipse.org/org/documents/2010.12.08.Implementing.the.IP.Policy.pdf

The project lead has stated that they do not have time to
perform such an exercise.

In the code we have attempted to keep the names and behaviour of rules
inline with ESLint so should they become available in the future the change will be as seamless as possible. Most of the rule information is captured
at: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/ESLint

Yes, and its this that seems like unnecessary churn/differences compared if Orion could just use eslint, correct ?

Hi,

I was wondering if the orion project have considered submitting a
request to the EMO and eventually
Bored to allow using ESlint despite the (IMO minor) IP issues with
respect to non-explicit CLA in the past ?

That seem to be something that could simplify the codebase and keeping
faster uptodate with
updates to the rules instead of manually maintaining them ?
