[ECB-list] Opening of ECB-Home on Github

[Ryan Ware]

All,

I seem to have waited far longer than I intended to send this email out.
I¹ve been waiting for administrative access of the ecb Sourceforge site to
happen (which still has not) and been waiting for some thing to clear up in
my work.

For continued development of ecb, I have created an ecb-home organization at
Github. This project can be found here:
https://github.com/orgs/ecb-home/dashboard. This project includes the
latest ecb plus some of my hacks to make it work with Emacs 24.3. If you¹re
looking to just go install and run it, installing and running it are done in
exactly the same way that this has always been done with ecb. There are a

(setq stack-trace-on-error t)
(setq ecb-tip-of-the-day nil)

The code requiring the former needs to be cleaned up. The pop-up generated
from the lack of the later on my Mac locks Emacs up. I don¹t know if this
is also the behavior under other platforms.

If you would like to participate in ecb-home as a maintainer, please discuss
it with me out of band of this thread. I¹m definitely looking for people to
participate. If you have patches that you¹d simply like to see added,
please feel free to send pull requests.

I look forward to bringing ecb under more active development.

All,

https://github.com/orgs/ecb-home/dashboard [1]. This project includes
the latest ecb plus some of my hacks to make it work with Emacs 24.3.

For me the above link didn't work, but this one does:
https://github.com/ecb-home

How this repo differs from Alex Ott's (https://github.com/alexott/ecb)
or https://github.com/emacsmirror/ecb ? Seems that these repos contain
more recent changes.

Cheers,
Przemek

Thanks for the corrected URL.

While Alex’s repo is great, as part of the handoff of maintainership of ecb from Klaus to myself, I wanted to create a Github Organization that is the official repository for the project as well as a place where multiple maintainers can collaborate. Please note that aecb-home is not a personal account. It’s a Github organization which I’m the owner for but for which many others can be a member of.

I just meant that the new one could be synced with alexott's. There should be no
problem with that as alexott's already contains your commits and even have some
new ones.

BTW Do you have any plans/roadmap regarding ECB?

No worries. Completely agree. :-)

I am more than happy to take suggestions via “Issues” at the github project page. There have been a number of good suggestions on this list over the years that I’m going to explore. However, in the near future, what I want to do is:

* Clean up my hacks
* Ensure ECB builds cleanly against CEDET 2 as it comes with Emacs
* Create an ELPA package and get it submitted upstream
* Integrate Magit functionality into ecb

Again, I’m more than happy to take suggestions via “Issues”. However, I will also likely ask people that have significant feature requests to put some of their own skin in the game.
