codeblocks bundled astyle and the maintainer claims that unbundling is not feasible. I am filing a ticket for FPC to consider this issue
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1050825
FYI, this is not the only instance of bundling in codeblocks
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=644183
And it bundles few more, with local changes. But please also see the current 100+ KB of unbundling efforts.
For astyle - there is no library (in upstream or eg. in Debian) that could be used instead of the bundled code, astyle builds into a single executable binary. The astyle sources are designed in a way that it should be possible to create a library (IMHO), no API/ABI guarantee though.
astyle can be built as a shared library, but the Fedora package doesn't do it. This will need a bit of work on the part of astyle package maintainer, but it is a route that should be explored first before saying it has to be bundled. I've just reopened bug 1050825 and added some comments and a POC patch there.
I'm saying I can't take responsibility for astyle packaging, not that it shouldn't be unbundled. Anyway thanks for your work, I have cloned the codeblocks bug to astyle.
At least the first bugzilla ticket mentioned was resolved. What's the current status here? Is there still something the committee needs to consider?
No. Resolved. Thanks!
