Re: Eggplant (formerly Testplant) Forks

Adam,

First and foremost, thank you for doing this.  It is much easier to keep track of what is going on this way than by using a zip/tgz archive.  I had discussed with Jonathan the possibility of a project to get eggplant onto the latest of GNUstep which has advanced significantly beyond the branch you guys are using (except of course for any enhancements you guys have added).  I will ping him separately about that.

Fred, the version I sent to you is the latest that was located on the eggplant.io website, so it should be up to date as far as I know.  Hopefully there are no disruptive changes in anything your are merging.

Also, I agree with Fred, Marcian's work on the XIB changes are excellent, well done, and highly appreciated.

Yours, GC

Hi Fred -

I concur that it would have been better to do this MUCH sooner and apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we are committed to not getting that out-of-sync again, it has been costly for us as well.

I understand that it will cost you a lot of time to look through the changes, and we sincerely appreciate it. Ideally we would create feature-based merge requests (and intend on doing that going forward), but I suspect that you may be interested in going through the changes faster than we will have the time to make clean merge requests for existing commits. Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you get that done faster.

Finally, I forgot to mention before that in an effort to improve our unit testing, we added some basic XCTest support to our code that probably makes more sense in the GNUstep code somewhere, but I'm not sure where. Please let me know if you would like me to commit that code somewhere as well.

Thank you!!

You could have saved me some effort by providing these changes a bit earlier :-( Just a few days ago I took over your XIB loading changes from a probably outdated version of the code. As I also added a few extra features it should be worthwhile for you to have a look at that pull request (https://github.com/gnustep/libs-gui/pull/39).
