Subject: [hobbit] Comments wanted - OK to drop BB support in Hobbit ?
I would like to drop that, since it does make things more difficult
for future developments, and I honestly haven't done any testing
against BB for some months now. Right now the development focus for
Hobbit is the "behind-the-scenes" server functions, but should the
focus at some point go towards new features in the user-interface part
of Hobbit, it would be difficult to stay backwards compatible with Big
Brother in the sense that you can run e.g. the Hobbit version of bbgen
on top of Big Brother.
So what do you say - can I drop the BB support and focus entirely on
a pure Hobbit environment?
Since there is no development effort on BB since a very long time,
and because of the license problem (BB = BTF and Hobbit = GPL),
i would suggest to drop BB support and focus on pure Hobbit.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Uwe Kirbach
