Following a discussion over the Traffic Server dev list [1], I would like to discuss approaches to moving over ats_pagespeed into the PageSpeed project (as mentioned in the initial incubator proposal). We should probably mark this plugin as experimental, as it is today in ATS.
Moving the plugin into its own github repo would probably take the least effort, but I think there are also some things speaking for merging ats_pagespeed, ngx_pagespeed, and mod_pagespeed into a single repository: - A central place for the community to engage - Currently ngx_pagespeed has mod_pagespeed as a submodule testing dependency, which means that we periodically need to update the dependency to point to the head of master to stay current - Centralized developer (wiki) documentation - We can (more easily) trigger CI runs for the other modules in CI when making updates to the core libraries. If we want to move forward with merging, I would propose s simple directory structure like: */mod_pagespeed* */ngx_pagespeed* */ats_pagespeed* *README.md* *NOTICE* *LICENCE* *....* One concern is that merging the repositories may put additional burden on those just wanting to build ngx_pagespeed or ats_pagespeed, as these repositories currently are relatively lightweight. One thing that may be worth looking into is if we can leverage newer git client features to mitigate this. (e.g. sparse checkouts?). Any thoughts?
