Hello freetype-devel@ list members,
It's been a
very very long time, but I have some free time in the coming weeks to
work on FreeType. Werner invited me to write a small announcement here and I'm currently looking at the official bugs list.
I'd like to know what are, in your opinion, the most pressing issues to work on at that point?
Apart from that, I had the following things in mind:
-
Improving / refactoring the build system a little. E.g. it should be
possible to simplify the
rules.mk/module.mk files considerably, and auto-generate most of the Makefiles / Jamfiles / CMakefiles
from a single source of truth (exact format to be defined), at least the
parts that deal with the headers / sources / configuration headers and the module dependencies.
-
Improve testing (unit and regression tests to be exact) There are lots
of possibilities here, and it will probably better to do this in small
incremental steps.
Voila, I'd be happy to read your suggestions, Happy to be here.
