Hello fellow developers,
At Curriki we are about to take over a new JS library for some assessment specific pages.
The library is a GitHub repository which we would like to fork and include in
Curriki's webapp.
Our intent is to do the following but I would like to know if there is a danger of doing
so or if it is indeed best practice.
- we fork the GitHub repository
- part of the adaptation includes creating a maven project; it would build a (partial)
web-application
- Curriki's web project depends on that webapp(-part) and thus includes the resources
- so as to ensure that recipients of Curriki can also build with it, we make the
repository a sub-module (somewhat equivalent to an svn:external) in Git and in maven
Thanks in advance for your comments, hints as to possible advantages or dangers.
Paul
