VSCodium #1333

Open grayswandyr opened 5 years ago

grayswandyr commented 5 years ago

VSCodium is a version of the VS Code editor stripped from all its non-free software (including telemetry code) and released under the sole MIT license. It's packaged as an RPM so I guess integration into CLR wouldn't be too hard (?).

I would love to have a vs-codium bundle! Having to use Flatpak (and downloads lots of runtime files) just to use one or two programs really isn't worth the struggle. Sure, you can install rpm, but having a bundle would be awesome

Previously I tried to package it with autospec but I failed. The thing is, VSCodium from the repository lacks several files preventing me from building. I copied them from VSCode but other issues kicks in.

I don't know much about packaging in general and for CLR in particular... But the VSCodium repo issues RPMs (see their Travis setup), so it may be possible for someone knowledgeable to adapt this to autospec (?).

I wonder what's even the purpose of an open source product if the open part misses files crucial to building the final product...

Not relying on autospec doesn't mean you can't build VSCodium.

Oh sorry I thought he was referring to just building it

VSCodium itself is open sources, but it tells you to follow VSCode’s instructions if you want to build it from the source. Well then you will find something missing.

Even if you replay the exact steps written in the Travis configuration file?

I rather like Visual Studio Code. I know it can't be added to the system but it can be installed after system installation I guess. If you add VSCodium, I, and others who rather like VSC, would have to remove that first before installing VSC.

But isn't the only difference the telemetry and maybe a slightly less updated build? What would be the reason to use VSC and not Codium? Also, you could have both installed anyway... So really it wouldn't be a problem
