Oh look, there's an elephant in the sandbox. On 6/30/06, Jean-Sebastien Delfino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
2. Stage the assembly of our M2 runtime. I propose that we start a fresh stream for M2 and build the runtime through baby steps, in parallel with the scenario work.
When I tried to make substantial changes to M1, I ran into a bunch of problems due to the fragility of its code - just look at AbstractCompositeContext for example (or if you want to hang on to breakfast, don't). To avoid those it was easier to start a fresh stream and pull in pieces from M1, refactoring along the way to reduce the fragility. Jim and then others joined in along the way leading to what we have now. The thought of starting over yet again is not very appealing. Instead, I suggest we go ahead with what was suggested on IRC three weeks ago and move the code we have now out of the sandbox and into a branch. Or perhaps, given there has been no development on the trunk recently (since mid-May), go ahead and just replace trunk itself. That gives us something to start from making it easier to support the high-level scenarios that we come up with. We can incrementally improve on that code based on what we find using and working with it, starting by taking a look at the suggestions that you made. -- Jeremy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
