About the future of protodep #65

Open stormcat24 opened 3 years ago

stormcat24 commented 3 years ago

This project started with a little motivation from me. 4 years have passed and protodep may be in demand more than I think. It's time to think about the future of this project.

If it's worth continuing to develop this, I need to revamp the project organization and architecture. My workload is limited and it would be better if many contributors could participate in this project.

I will consider various possibilities. Please let us know your opinion!

So far, protodep is very useful to work together several Git repositories containing proto files.

It is good to have dependency chain resolution.

When you ask protodep to download dependency, that has prorodep.toml inside, it is good to also parse that file and fetch dependencies from it.

For now, if you ask protodep to get some .proto from external source, you might also have to resolve its dependencies, either manually, either by hardcoding them into current protodep.toml.
