Hi,<br>
<br>
we are now internally discussing the kdegraphics git move with all interested<br>
and involved developers.<br>
Some technical questions that arose, given we take the split repo approach:<br>
<br>
1) Would it be suitable to have a shallow shell / umbrella repository<br>
including toplevel directory contents glue like CMake files, READMEs or AUTHOR<br>
files etc., with the submodules' repos copied inside this?<br>
This would allow to a) dont have to edit CMake files right now to make<br>
everything compile standalone (would be a hurdle right now, could be achieved<br>
in the long run)<br>
b) allow to cope with some cross-submodule source file dependencies for now<br>
c) strengthen the coherence of the module<br>
d) may contain a convenience script to pull all repos<br>
e) leave it as a choice of individual submodules to build standalone, or<br>
require the umbrella.<br>
f) if git-submodules or a different approach becomes usable for this purpose<br>
in the future, use it then<br></blockquote><div><br>
I agree to have each part as stand alone component. A good ex is all
libs components which are packaged independently by linux distro. <br>
