Hello all...
I don't think that it will be possible to get our entire codebase up to to the coding style at the current pace, until next week. I think we are going to need to make a conscious decision to attack this untabbifying code systematically (I've only gotten through the dialogs folder in a couple of days!!!), or only untabbify the code for this release (faster), or put this off till next release (and try and get a release out soon--say by weekends end)
Agreed, I think if it had been feasible to do it mechanically then it'd be worth pushing to do it. Given that it needs more attention than that, plus that they're _just_ tabs, I don't think we want to see that hold up the release.
What do you all think? I understand Bulia's concern about breaking things so close to release and I see how long this takes by hand...(a long time). Would it not be better to knock out the bugs and #if 0 and then put the rest till next release (bug hunt). I think we need to get a stable release up with bool. ops asap.
Agreed; there are some great new features in this release that we want to see in the hands of users soon. It would be nice to get 100% of the code cleanup done, but it isn't worth the delay.
It sounds like we have concensus on this topic, so let's push the untabification task to a future release.
