It is also relevant to note that it is rather messy like it is now,
with 2 versions of TreeView in the Lazarus-CCR being that the newer
one depends on an external package ... the external package should be
moved to the CCR or copied there for private use of the
VirtualTreeView, and the older one removed.
It's all history:
- The old port was developed by christian, but had some limitations that
would lead to much work to be fixed (more than a new port)
- So i started a new port in another repository (at the time BountySource)
- In 2007, in a discussion with Vincent Snjiders he asked to mirror in
Lazarus-CCR.
- To avoid the extra work i decided to move entirely to CCR with the
condition to be in charge of the direction of the port. The dependency
kept in my repo (no special reason)
So, my position:
- Delete the old VTV and update the wiki: ask christian
- Move the lclextensions to CCR: no problem
- Move VTV to Lazarus: not now, it would open a can of worms. Believe me.
- Changes like Felipe one is welcome but i'd like to be at least
informed. It's a rule of Lazarus-CCR government that each one stay with
your projects
BTW: VTV trunk is unstable and buggy given the introduction of
(unfinished) features and incompatibilities in the Delphi repository.
The actively developed with stable API and with many bug fixes is the
4.8 branch.
