Re: [ros-dev] Status Meeting (May 2018)

Hi!<br>
<br>
To that I see one solution, that has actually already been proposed in the PR:<br>
we make an external package (a la Wine gecko) that one can download during installation,
or later through RAPPS.<br>
Then this package (possibly together with other heavy core ones?) could be hosted in some
GitHub sub-repo or elsewhere...<br>
Closing the PR now would definitely not be the right solution.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

&gt; Potential problems are:<br>
&gt; 4) something else?<br>
<br>
I've been struggling with e.g. https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/276<br>
<br>
On the one hand, we definitely need official support for Chinese,<br>
Korean, and Japanese character sets.<br>
On the other hand, this must not bloat up ReactOS by default, and just<br>
dropping a 12 MB font into the repository definitely does.<br>
So what is the ideal solution? I don't even know myself.<br>
<br>
- I could leave the PR open and hope that the submitter addresses my<br>
comments and comes up with a better solution. That hasn't happened in<br>
the last months.<br>
<br>
- I could close the PR right away. That would give the submitter no<br>
chance to address my comments and may even look disrespectful. And the<br>
original problem tends to be forgotten.<br>
<br>
- I could close the PR and open a JIRA issue describing the problem.<br>
If we decide on that as a general rule, we would put another burden on<br>
every reviewer. Additionally, such general JIRA issues tend to rot in<br>
our database as well.<br>
<br>
I think we often have this situation where the submitted PR is wrong,<br>
but we don't know the right solution either, and therefore keep the PR<br>
open. If we can better deal with these cases, the number of open PRs may<br>
decrease significantly.<br>

I would think about something like CORE-9525
