Part of the intent of plugins is to make available stuff that
may have limited appeal, may be work-in-progress, may have
dependencies, may be of low quality, ...... or any of a
number of reasons keep it separate.
It's hard to know up front what will eventually be merged into
master.
Predictions:
gnucap/adms
Never. ADMS is a separate project. Ideally, it would have
its own site, and its targets would live there, like gnucap
plugins. Then we would link to it. It doesn't seem to be that
way. NGspice has its own, Qucs has its own, Xyce has its own,
and it seems the master isn't maintained.
gnucap/gui
At this point it needs to be separate because of the
dependency on a specific graphics library.
gnucap/plugins-models
This changes faster than master and always will. It may
make sense to separate spice (the past) from verilog (the
future). Almost all new work in modeling is done in verilog-
ams.
gnucap/bm
I think this is a dead-end.
gnucap/modelgen-verilog
I think this will eventually replace the old modelgen,
maybe even ADMS.
gnucap/plugins.git
The catchall for new stuff, mostly small. This one could
be an exception to the usual master, but maybe not. How about
... non-master branches are specific, not forks of master but
rather forks of nothing. Then master is a merge of all of
them. There could be several master-like branches, something
like "stable", "testing" and "unstable".
