- Subject: [ECOS] Splitting the eCos repository
How about splitting the eCos repository?
- It would help to market the support for multiple repositories. I've
seen a lot of messy maintainence due to the lack of this knowledge.
- It would reduce the size of the eCos repository that 90% use.
Something like:
- eCos core. Up to and including architecture HAL's
- eCos devboard. Contains all the HAL's for development boards.
- eCos highlevel/net. All high level(many files) stuff like net,
microwindows, etc. goes
- eCos legacy.
1 eCos repository is too little, 10 is too many. :-)
The user would then have to either use a development board HAL as-is
or create his own eCos repository, probably duplicating & modifying an
existing HAL.
