Re: [Liborigin-devel] project repository

[Alexander P. <ale...@gm...>]

Hello Stefan,

You can see the changes committed to SciDAVis's liborigin submodule here:
https://github.com/SciDAVis/liborigin/commits/
There are some fixes and cleanups and I don't think there's anything
too SciDAVis-centric among them. Some of them will make my life more
difficult as I'll probably need to refactor a few Fedora-specific
workarounds with regard to cmake…

>From the point of view of a distribution package maintainer it would
be great if all the work happened first in liborigin upstream or if
any changes made downstream were pushed upstream (within a reasonable
timeframe), so as to avoid forking and fragmentation. While git
submodules are appealing, at least to consumers of projects, I think
they tend to complicate things.

Once you get a chance to look at the code, let me know what you think.


Thank you and have a nice weekend,
A.
