i'm wondering what is your opinion on this. Before starting with coding for 11.1 i intend to reorganize zypper's sources a bit to avoid too much typing (each file has 'zypper-' prefix), to reduce compilation time, and to split zypper-misc.* and zypper-utils.* which currently mix too much stuff together. All to make the code easier and more pleasant to work with.
Some of this is obvious, but the rename part first. I intend to do the following:
Bah! 1) Never rename source files: breaks patches without good reason. 2) Don't use capitals in file names: useless use of keypresses. 3) Use "svn mv" 4) Goto 1
If anything, merge the split step with the rename, i.e. move functions from the old big files into new small files named to your liking.
The hoops you are trying to jump through to make patches work should make it pretty obvious that this renaming is not a clever idea.
Thanx! I thought it might turn out good after all, if the hoops will take less energy than the energy saved by working with the renamed sources. :O) Considering also there will not be many patches from SLE11 to SLE10 (probably none), just a few from 11.1 to 11.0.
Just IMO :) zypper is mostly your child, so in the end what really matters is your preference, in that case please at least do (3) ;-)
Of course, i intended to, what i wrote in my initial mail was just to show how will the source tree look. j. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
