Regarding splitting up symfony/symfony into a collection of submodules, I think
that could throw a cog into the contribution flow for everyone. It would be
extremely difficult to coordinate multiple PR's if each had to target a
specific component or bundle, where a single PR could do the job now. Also,
that divides the test suite and makes it easier to inadvertently break
dependencies. I realize this just a minor point of your post, but I felt
compelled to raise a point.
yeah .. i discussed this with Fabien.
i would expect Symfony2 core developers to basically use the remodeled
symfony/symfony for their development still .. making it just as easy to run
the full test suite.
the only thing that would get harder are commits that span multiple
components/bridges/bundles.
most commits addressing components only, tend to be in a single component.
so i expect the main issue to appear with PR's doing changes that affect both
bundles and components.
the main question here is if the current layout is a big enough hinderance for
component users that its ok to make the dev workflow for us harder?
i guess before we do this, it would be best to discuss this with our user base.
so if we do want to explore this, i guess a blog post on symfony.com addressing
the projects using Symfony2 components would be the way to go to determine how
much of a pain there is today.
I have not dropped the plan and I have actually done the first step,
which was to move the unit tests in the components themselves. I have
not done the next step yet as Jordi was skeptical about that for good
reasons.
So, at least, people using some of the components can now run the unit
tests on their configuration, without installing the whole
symfony/symfony package.
And as I said before, I'd rather make our life (core contributors) a bit
harder if that makes our users life (Symfony developers) easier.
But let's talk about that in another thread.
