Hi Stephen,
There was a fair bit of discussion behind this, and single repo ASF is the real blocker. Also, while Fauxton can run as a couchapp, by default it builds down into static files and is hosted by CouchDB the same way as Futon. That said, making Fauxton as easily to develop as possible for new contributors has been a primary concern of ours. We've gotten all dependencies moved into package.json, and Garren has been knocking out a new development server which will allow you to develop locally and not have to build CouchDB as a part of Fauxton development. The new process will basicaly be: git clone couchdb cd couchdb/src/fauxton npm install ./bin/dev-server And you'll be up and running. -Russell On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 3:06 PM, Stephen Bartell <[email protected]>wrote: > Referencing the topic [Merging the fauxton branch into master] > > Im just wondering, why can't fauxton development take place in an entirely > separate repo from couch.
