Re: [photran-dev] Packaging question

Right.
As for the VPG feature (which contains the parser, indexer, program
analyses, content assist, refactorings, etc.), it was separated purely
for technical reasons, but now it's built into the main Photran feature
on the update site. So, no, you would probably never want to compile
Photran without it.
If you want the gory details, Nick Chen very recently updated the
Photran Developer's Guide (cf. the web site) to include a discussion of
this (among many other things... thanks, Nick!).

As far as the features that package support for a specific vendor's
compiler, such as the Intel feature or the IBM Xlf feature, if you were
a Fortran compiler vendor who wanted to use Photran as a framework to
base an ide for your compiler upon, having the support for other vendors
compilers easily removable would be of value. This is similar to the
change in the CDT framework recently to repackage the GNU tool support
in separate features. Not all vendors building products based on CDT
wanted the GNU tool support included in their products.
If you are a user who doesn't use the Intel Fortran compiler or IBM Xlf
compiler, then you don't need the support for them in your Eclipse
configuration.

Subject: [photran-dev] Packaging question
photran appears to be made of 3 features:
org.eclipse.photran_feature
org.eclipse.photran.vpg_feature
org.eclipse.photran.xlf_feature
Does it make sense to package these independently at all? What are the
dependencies? Would you ever want photran_feature without vpg or xlf?
Thanks!
