[Evergreen-dev] Merging OpenSRF & Evergreen Into One Project

[Jeff Davis]

Unless there are other projects out there that are using OpenSRF (and I'm not aware of any), I think it makes sense to merge them. Having a single repository and install process would be a huge benefit, and I don't really see any downsides. The feeling at the dev meeting was that the merge should happen after OpenSRF migrates to Redis (https://bugs.launchpad.net/opensrf/+bug/2017941), which seems like a reasonable timeline to me.

In other words: I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! Let's do it!

Jeff

Subject: [Evergreen-dev] Merging OpenSRF & Evergreen Into One Project

Hi All,

At today's IRC developer meeting, we discussed a proposal to merge OpenSRF and Evergreen into a single codebase / project.

The initial proposal: https://bugs.launchpad.net/opensrf/+bug/2032835
IRC logs from today's meeting: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/evergreen/2023-09-12#i_533091

At the meeting, we reached a provisional thumbs-up on the concept.  This is a big change, though, and the discussion warrants more space, time, and coverage than an IRC meeting can accommodate, so I'm hoping to migrate the conversation to the list.

Thoughts, concerns, questions on the proposal?

At this point, we're still at the "should we do this?" stage, but I'm also happy to discuss specifics regarding potential planning and implementation.

Thanks!
