Re: [orion-dev] Have request for allowing eslint to be used ?

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=467903

I have opened a bug to weigh the pros/cons of requesting such an exception.

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

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