Those were not suggestions for the repository directory. Those were
suggestions for wiki pages on porting. The point wasn't to include
precisely those pages either. It was that having a group of pages on
porting would be a good idea (as well as a master porting page that
organized the other pages).
I'm not familiar enough with the various ports to say what pages we
need exactly. Perhaps it should be a page for each "full-package"
port as you listed them. For example:
• SH4 Linux + DirectFB + FreeType + blablabla
• ARM9 Linux + SDL + SDL_TTF + blablabla
Or alternatively a page for each piece of the port. For example:
• networking
• graphics
• processor
• build environment
• etc (or blablabla ;if you prefer)
Especially if pieces of WebKit that need to be ported to various
frameworks use those same frameworks on multiple full-package ports
(for example, I assume BSD networking libraries might be used on Mac
OS X, Darwin and other BSD environments. However, Quartz would only
be on Mac OS X.
However from reading recent threads, it sounds to me that there are
five or six pages needed to describe the various ports:
• Mac OS X
• Qt
• S60
• Gdk (Windows?)
• Gdk (others?)
• Windows
From Macej's post it sounds like we'll see some of this once the
current stabilization phase is complete. I look forward to seeing
that. I'll say I think I have some things I could contribute to the
wiki from my own experience with WebKit, but it's hard to start that
process without a more complete overview in place first. Jumping in
and discussing DOM APIs peculiarities without a larger discussion of
the philosophy and direction seems a bit futile.
Best wishes,
Rob

These bullets are too limitative (just as platform is, to my point
of view). Porting to linux is meaningless. We work on porting
webkit on :
SH4 Linux + DirectFB + FreeType + blablabla
ARM9 Linux + SDL + SDL_TTF + blablabla
This is fairly different. This is impossible to imagine adding one
directory per port (what about ARM9 + DirectFB then?). Unless you
want to maximize the quantity of duplicated source ;-)
