Re: [Texmacs-dev] What is the future of TeXmacs?

[sadhen]

Just successed on building TeXmacs on MacOS.

Here is my plan on improving TeXmacs:

+ I will host my improvements on https://github.com/sadhen/texmacs

+ Each improvement will be maintained at github on each branch.

I’m working on the cmake branch these days to provide a CMake build for TeXmacs. Since cmake won’t affect the current build system. I hope the code can be merged into the SVN repo later.

After completion of the cmake branch, I am going to integrate my previous work (the TeXmacs Git Plugin) into TeXmacs code base.

主题: [Texmacs-dev] What is the future of TeXmacs?

Dear TeXmacs Developers:

I was a casual contributor of TeXmacs when I was a student. I love the design of TeXmacs.

I’m interested in:

1. upgrade guile

2. improve typesetting on CJK (http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47186)

3. typesetting on source code (eg. http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?8899)

However, TeXmacs is inactive and cannot attract new contributors(do not know if it is a fact).

In my opinion, the following is necessary:

1. switch to git

2. switch to github or gitlab

3. write a detailed how-to-contribute doc

What’s your opinion? What’s the reason we still stick to SVN? What is the extra effort to switch to git?

I’m willing to help switching to Git.
