[Savannah-register-public] [task #13707] Submission of Guile-Clutter

[David Pirotte]

Follow-up Comment #6, task #13707 (project administration):

Hello Assaf,

> Sorry for the delay.

It's ok.

> Before I create the new independent project (guile-clutter) - I
> just wanted to verify with you: this new project will be marked

> independent GNU package).

Oh, that is a bad surprise: I feel this would be a serious
regression and I believe most developers and users would feel the
same.

To be honest, I did not even think this request would get
Guile-Clutter to have go through the Gnu evaluation process
again, since it is a branch of a Gnu project which clearly needs
it own projet page, git repo, web pages ...  The original author
already commented about that a long time ago ["... since for the
time being we only have 1 savannah project page ..."]

> Shall I continue with 'non-gnu' ?

No.  I would like Guile-Clutter to remain a Gnu Project, so may I
ask why it failed the exam and what I can do to remedy?


Cheers,
David


[*] Afaict, it complies to all requirements.  I'm getting close
to a release, a hudge improvement compare to its previous
version:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-gtk-general/2015-08/msg00002.html

  Note the notes about cogl and clutter installations [in favour
  of a separate project page I mean ...  Even the programming
  style is different [both a callback and an actor model...]

  Also, I found a bug in clutter itself, in 1.12.2 up to their
  master branch, so now I also need to add to these explanations
  for users [how to] to git cherry-pick 1 specific patch ... see

 
https://git.gnome.org/browse/clutter/commit/?id=dea5057fbd7e9e2f0199ec6df6e5716635f0e5ee

  [ it took me a little while to convince Emmanuele Bassi there was
  [ grid layout resize bug, but he finnally agreed and patched.
