Hi Frank,
Just feel free to use your own layout if that's
what you feel the most comfortable.
Amongst all "practices" the most important is
the local make files. Now for all (with just
some rare exceptions) contrib make files are
pretty much standardized to make maintenance
and usage the simplest. I'm talking about make_b32.bat,
make_vc.bat, make_gnu.sh, bld_b32.bat, bld_vc.bat
and Makefile, inside each contrib dir.
If your project could use this system, the better,
if not, that's also not a showstopper, the rest
is up to you. I can also help adding these files,
once the project is uploaded.
The only thing we need to decide upon, is a name
for your project, f.e. 'hbocean'.
One more thing came to mind: Currently there is a
technical requirement that no contrib source
filenames might collide with any other filenames
either in core or contrib.
Brgds,
Viktor

Hi Viktor,
After much experimenting with all kinds of strategies to organizing
dirs and source layouts, i've come to set out for approaches that
seem to stand out from common logic, which makes me wonder about
what you refer to as 'best practices', where they come from and what
exactly they are; although these are mostly 'unwritten' there must
be good reasons why they turned out as they are; seems like i was
never properly 'initiated', or lost track of those, the danger when
one starts wondering about them in the first place ;-) This legal
stuff placement in the sources is not so much of my concern in this,
but, since you mentioned it, the way a repository is organized is
sth for my own project (apart from harbour) to deal with in a
slightly different way (but yet to be proven manageable; reasons why
in an alternative manner are both technically compelling, and
logically (meaning logistically here) appealing).
So, arrived full-circle, i have come to look at things, not taking
them for granted, hence why i bothered.
kind regards,
frank

Hi Frank,
Well, no, not for the contribs anyway, I just went
there for other reasons, noticed this and moved it
to the top, since all the rest of contribs have
it at the top, and this particular contrib is not
actively updated anymore by the author, that's all.
If you have your "own" contrib in Harbour, you
can have it as you like.
By definition contribs are private areas,
there are just some (unwritten) "best practices" to
use there, like the placement of /tests, some general
layout of the tree, make files, lib naming, namepace
issues, etc. If these are followed, the better (since
it's easier to get along for a user knowing some
other contribs already, plus some things may be
expected automatically), but again _nothing is obligatory_.
Brgds,
Viktor

* License moved to top of the files.
for my own project license etc is planned to figure at the bottom of
the files; is it a general requirement that they are listed at the
top?
