New PowerPC-specific Eclipse CDT plugin for Eclipse needs a home

New PowerPC-specific Eclipse CDT plugin for Eclipse needs a home

[Corey Ashford]

Hello,

I'm new to this mailing list (and the penguinppc web site).  I've just 
finished up a first version of a PowerPC-specific plug-in for the 
Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling plug-in.

This plug-in adds most of the PowerPC specific GNU C/C++ compiler 
switches, as well as switches needed for the assembler and for linking 
(using gcc).

At this point, eclipse.org will not host it as they do not have 
target-specific plug-ins yet.  They may eventually.

In the meantime, I'm looking for a place to host this plug-in and would 
be interested in getting some feedback on the content and quality of it, 
because this is first cut.

Thanks for your consideration,

- Corey

When you say host what exactly are you looking for?  How about  
something like savannah.org or sourceforge.net?

Or may ozlabs.org (if we supply enough infrastructure).

We'll host it on PowerDeveloper.org if you want.

What do you need? :)

Google's new hosting program is supposed to be pretty good.  They use a
variant of Subversion for revision control:

Hi Kumar,

I was thinking there might be some place on penguinppc, but those others 
sound like a good idea too.  I will look into those.

Thanks for the suggestions!

It's definitely worth linking it from penguinppc ! Though for hosting, a
place that provides a revision control system is probably better.

Agreed. Despite what you might think from recent glibc developments,
penguinppc.org does not offer project hosting and I don't believe it
should: I already don't have time to keep up with the simple content it
offers (volunteers welcome). There are plenty of free OSS hosting sites
out there...

You're welcome to an account on git.infradead.org for hosting
PPC-related projects.

Hello all,

It appears I sent this mail to the wrong address yesterday, so here it 
is again:

Thanks for the suggestions!

Kumar Gala suggested sourceforge.net or savannah.gnu.org yesterday.  I 
looked around on those two and found that sourceforge had a number of 
Eclipse projects already, and savannah had none, and since it doesn't 
matter much to me, I opted for sourceforge.  I've applied for a project 
and am currently waiting for approval.
