Deprecate Adv Dupe, bring Adv Dupe 2 into Wiremod? #56

Closed Anticept closed 10 years ago

@wiremod/developers

-TB- and emspike wishes to merge Adv Dupe 2 into the Wiremod project. It possesses features that Adv Dupe does not have, including a couple notable mentions such as no more saggy welds.

Facepunch page: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1136597&s=3daf1b0fd362d7afcf412b64273b3172

What this would involve, if accepted, is Adv Dupe 2 will be changed to the Apache license, and uploaded here on github. TB and donovan (aka emspike) would become wiremod team members, and adv dupe 2 would henceforth be considered a wiremod project.

It would be placed in wiremod alongside adv dupe 1 until we decide to move from deprecation to dropping, since there's probably still some little bugs to work out.

I personally vote in favor of this motion.

So, advdupe2 will be moved to the wiremod organisation, and (eventually) become the official successor of advdupe1? I see no reason to oppose that (after all, they already stole the name :3).

TomyLobo commented 10 years ago

sounds good, unless it's more of a mess than advdupe1

Jack37 commented 10 years ago

Sure why not. Then we can make it fully working. Unless someone really want to make dupe 3

AbigailBuccaneer commented 10 years ago

This sounds promising - I've not read through much of the code so we might be inheriting a messier codebase than AdvDupe1 - but AdvDupe2's stagnation is halting progress in cleaning up lots of Wiremod code, so I'd be happy to have the chance to fix it.

imo leave adv dupe 1 in wiremod permanently. I see no reason to drop it. Sure, the code is messy, but at least it doesn't cause any lag or other proplems. We haven't had to touch the adv dupe code for ages, and as long as garry doesn't break anything again, we shouldn't have to touch it for another age.

We'll deprecate it, but it will always be available for people to download.
