• Is rapid-bidder connected to or any part of https://github.com/venediktov/vanilla-rtb in any case?
• Is this a new version of the other one?
• Can we include this in the vanilla-rtb?

Please help here!!!

Hi thanks for your interest.

1.) rapid-bidder is not connected , it's a model project that shows how to pull vanilla-rtb into your cmake enabled RTB bidder project. You can use it as a template for your project .

2.) We update rapid-bidder periodically ( but not with every change in vanilla-rtb ) , to latest revision of vanilla-rtb stack , this way vanilla-rtb stack lands into rapid-bidder/framework subdirectory . The subdirectory name can be any-name. framework subdirectory is git submodule . In your project you will create it with following command \: git submodule add https://github.com/venediktov/vanilla-rtb your-folder-name

Or you can create git subtree instead of submodule , the difference is subtree is like a real directory a snapshot of vanilla-rtb , this way you can put your own fixes in subtree not waiting on vanilla-team . There are few commands that need to change when working with submodules , you will have to learn those commands . If it becomes difficult I recommend using git subtree for vanilla-rtb inclusion instead of git submodules. git subtree is like a snapshot from external project and it's treated by git as normal directory of your project - worth trying too.

3.) No you can't include rapid-bidder into vanilla-rtb , it's the other way around , rapid-bidder includes vanilla-rtb as a framework ( library ) .

I hope it helps.

Vladimir.
