[Hydrogen-devel] RFC ::: desired changes before 1.0 ::: RFC

[Jérémy Z. <je...@as...>]

Hi everyone,

there are a few changes I would like to make happen before 1.0.


1 : I would like to remove 'data' from the system data path

    /usr/share/hydrogen/data/… -> /usr/share/hydrogen/…

    - share is for data, no need to specify it in the path
    - no other project is doing that
    - it should be harmless as system data is not supposed to be accessed/modified by users

    $ ls -l /usr/share/ | wc -l
    439

    $ find /usr/share/ -maxdepth 2 -type d -name data
    /usr/share/bsdgames/data
    /usr/share/marble/data
    /usr/share/imlib2/data
    /usr/share/stardict/data
    /usr/share/gtk-doc/data


2-a: following the above, split it into ~/.config/hydrogen.conf and ~/.local/…

    - to follow xdg specification
    - hydrogen can easily do it at startup and notify the user

2-ab: or at least, remove 'data' from ~/.hydrogen/data/…

    - hydrogen can easily do it at startup and notify the user


3 : rename drumkit_pattern.xsd into pattern.xsd

    - unless there are big plans for other types of pattern it's just a pattern
    - this is system data, the change is harmless to the users


4 : following the above, rename <drumkit_pattern> into <pattern>

    - backward compatibility will obviously be preserved (loading old xml)


I think that's it,
I will come back if there is more that pops up.

please comment

cheers
Jérémy
