[Biococoa-dev] Subversion proposal

Hi Charles and Alex,
I'm almost getting it... still a bit confused with all those names
though ;-)
To me, BioCocoa 1.7 == Alex's code == BCAppkitStandalone. At least to
me these three items point to the same thing: the ready-to-use code
that Alex announced yesterday.
I think Charles has a point to include this code in the repository so
we can easily improve it. Here is what I'm proposing now:
- I checked out the latest CVS version (I finally got it to work, it
seems like bioinformatics.org does not keep your account password in
sync with your CVS password)
- I removed all CVS folders (including those in bundles)
- I upgraded the project to the latest version of Xcode (2.2) and
built it to make sure it works
- I removed the .pbproj file
- I linked to the Mac OS X 10.3.9 SDK because I did not have any
previous SDKs installed. I guess Mac OS X 10.3.9 should be a good
minimum target by now.
- I added a new folder to the root of the BioCocoa folder, on the
same level of BCAppKit, ... This new folder is called BCStandalone
(another new name ;-)) and contains all great code Alex has posted
yesterday. I chose the name BCStandalone because it does not only
contain AppKit code but also new reader classes which are more
BCFoundation-like.
As far as I can tell this structure is ready to be imported into our
SVN rep. Please let me know if you all agree with this approach.
Of course, we can always add new folders later. For now, the
hierarchy would be:
- Trunk
- BC.icns
- BCAppKit
- BCFoundation
- BCStandalone
- BCStringDefinitions.h
- BCStringDefinitions.m
- BioCocoa_Prefix.h
- BioCocoa.xcodeproj
- Copying.txt
- DeveloperDocs
- Documentation
- Examples
- Info-BioCocoa.plist
- main.c
- Readme.txt
- Resources
- Tests
- Tags
still empty
- Branches
still empty
cheers,
peter
PS: Now that I see this hierarchy, shouldn't we move the
BCStringDefinitions files to the BCFoundation folder? And the BC.icns
to the Resources folder, as well as the .plist file? That should keep
the root nice and clean.
