The problem right now is that there is some half-finished development
merged into master, and Vladimir made some changes in his fork with which
I'd like to keep mainline geda-gaf at least compatible. So there are some
things which would need to be figured out first:
- What should be done regarding the progress in having dockable gschem
dialogs? Is someone willing to finish the work, should it be considered
“finished” as-is and shipped in a stable release, or should it be moved to
a feature branch, shipping the last stable UI?
- What should be done regarding the changes in the configuration system?
The current state is somewhat inconsistent, having both the traditional
.gafrc-style files and the new geda.conf files at once. Is someone
willing to finish the work, should it be considered “stable” as-is and
released, or should the release have the last stable .gafrc-only
configuration?
- What changes in Vladimir's code affect interoperability with geda-gaf
and should be accounted for?
I've been working on the interoperability issue but haven't been able to
review all changes yet. (@Vladimir: Documentation of what exactly changed
would help greatly here. *hint*)
