Can I host a clangd fork here? #14

Open dschaefer opened 5 years ago

dschaefer commented 5 years ago

I have a fork in the works to add support for cross gcc projects to the llvm/clang/clangd source tree. These are changes that don't necessarily make sense upstream. At least not at this time. The intent is to use this fork with CDT's new language server support.

The guidelines for the labs is quite old and assumes projects here be based on the Eclipse platform, which is actually a smaller part of the Eclipse community than it once was.

Also the assumption is that the projects here would eventually become Eclipse projects. However, it's not clear that the rules allow for Eclipse projects to be Apache licensed.

I'd like to bring the fork here since it'll be a critical component of an Eclipse project, CDT, just not necessarily compatible with the rules of being an Eclipse project. But I'd rather host it closer to Eclipse than my personal repo, or the repo of one of the vendors, to make it clear that this is owned by the community.

If approved, we'd create a project called llvm-project with a branch containing the fork and a master branch tracking upstream.

Thoughts?

@waynebeaton just bringing this to your attention. Not sure who else can help us decide this.
