Why changing something that works? It was long to set,
but now it does
not need so much maintaining. It is good to have a build farm that
check each packages, reading the logs is easier.
I'm sorry, but it is not my view that it is working: with Alexandre we
lost almost 1 man-day because the C grammar he thought he was using
(the one in the src tree) was not the one that was used (the last one
to be installed). In addition it is common knowledge that the
Autotools are *very* costly to run: any improvement of the working
cycle in the Tfers project is an healthy move.
I might agree for the removal of *some* indirections instead of all of
them, but as is as of today, it is ridiculous --- you can't justify so
many packages.
I propose 3 sub packages:
- StrategoXTensions
boxedsdf
esdf
sdf-astgen
sdf-attribute
sdf-detgen
sdf-option
str-lazy
- C Grammars
c-condition
c-grammar
- C++ Grammars
cxx-basic
cxx-grammar
specs-grammar
