Hi all,

There are a couple of patches in review that add a large chunk of code from
other repositories to gem5 in ext/. Andreas S. has a patch that adds
PyBind11 and Matthias is updating DRAMPower. And we're thinking about
including SystemC in a similar way.

Is there a better way for us to include these other projects in gem5's
source tree? For instance, we could use subrepos. What is the community's
thoughts on this?

A few things I don't like about including the code in gem5:
1) It increases the amount of code in our repository
2) It is hard to track updates to these systems
3) The code cannot be GPL.

Good thing about including the code in gem5:
1) Updates to external code won't break our system
2) It's easy to build gem5 without having to download other software

Any other opinions or options for this?

Thanks,
Jason
