Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Remove all duplicated information from folders names on git repositories

Reviving http://markmail.org/message/hlnqke3igkbec332 for as an official vote. We have waited way too long and I think we really need to find a solution even if none of the committers use Windows since a long time. Every time a Windows dev even think of contributing he is very quickly discouraged... As a reminder the issue is that working on XWiki source code is a pain for MS Windows developers because of the (impossible to understand I agree) limitation on path size. So the idea is to find a new logical rule to drastically shorten our paths and Sergiu proposed the following: remove duplicated information from our paths to maven modules. Here is an example: xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-rendering/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformations/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformation-macro (131 chars) would become core/rendering/transformations/macro (36 chars) So WDYT ? Here is my +1 I also find it nicer when navigating using cd and tab in a unix shell anyway. Planning to do it in 5.1 if everyone agree. -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
