[Pkg-mono-devel] treecc mess

[David Paleino]

Hello,
I mistakenly closed an IRC query regarding treecc -- I hope it was you
contacting me.
Let's try to solve this mess about it: is "your" treecc the same as ours?

From the description, it seems to serve quite the same goal:

-->treecc 0.1-4<--
Description: Concrete syntax tree generator
 TreeCC generates C++ classes to represent the concrete syntax tree for a
 given Yacc/Bison grammar, along with abstract visitor base classes and
 visitor adapter classes with standard behaviour (descend into subnodes,
 throw an exception).

-->treecc 0.3.10-1<--
Description: code generation for compiler development
 treecc is designed to assist in the development of compilers and other
 language-based tools. It manages the generation of code to handle
 abstract syntax trees and operations upon the trees.
 .
 This package contains the main binary.

Downloading the source though, they're quite different and -- it seems -- from
different authors:

-->0.1-4<--
http://www.hogyros.de/ (currently in "offline mode" though)

-->0.3.10-1<--
http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/

I also see that your treecc already has 19 as popcon score, while ours hasn't
been uploaded yet. And we won't upload it, because the archive would regard it
as a new version, fixing things the bad way for our purposes.

Honestly, I believe "hogyros" could have chosen an unused name for his
software :)
Since both are headed towards developers, I fail to think at a
treecc/treecc-dev solution.
One solution might be calling our treecc "treecc-gnu", or similar ("gnutreecc",
[..]). Any other idea?

Mono team: any ideas from your POV?

Kindly,
David
