Hi all,
After talking to some developers about the recent state of the ReactOS tree, compiler times and disk space, I've analyzed our tree and found the following preliminary round of changes that should be made to stay in line with our policy that ReactOS provides what Windows does, at the core level. Any extra functionality or applications not provided by Windows have always been supposed to go into rosapps, as well as test applications. For testing/regression testing, I actually recommend the creation of a ros-tests repository, which will contain the tests in rosapps plus the ones I've mentionned below.
This isn't just about disk space or compiling speed, but also to keep our tree clean and conformant.
Here's the list:
Overall I agree with most of these, but I would rethink moving drivers to rosapps. Maybe there should be a place for non-core drivers? Sounds like a good idea for the most part.
