Simplify main WASI repo #451
Conversation
Isn't wasi-libc still based on |
Alex has been working on a tool to replace
Correct. This is a change that has been in the works since late last year with the push towards modularization.
This makes sense to me. |
Where is the tool, when the tool to be merged?
|
With this simplification, the tooling would live outside of this repo, in the wasi-tools repo (which Dan just created). Once that's done, the main WASI repo would focus on coordinating work at a higher level and helping people navigate to the various APIs that are a part of WASI. Alex is prioritizing getting the replacement tooling up in that repo, so I expect it to be available there soon. |
We won't be able to make a clean break with I'd like to merge this soon so that we're pointing new contributors in the right direction, so I'd ask that any word-smithing or nits be tackled in follow up PRs and that we focus comments on this PR on more substantial, structural concerns. |
As discussed before in meetings, we've received feedback that the current structure of the WASI repo is confusing.
This PR significantly reduces the complexity of the repo structure. It does this by moving parts of the repo that will be obsoleted to a
legacy
directory, and editing and consolidating the rest.It also introduces the idea of a proposal template, which I've created a first draft of.
This version of the restructure depends on #450.
