Editor-Syntax #161
Description
Activity
ST package manager currently uses master for install. Can it work with submodules? If so, we should do that.
Good question - Package Control just uses GitHub's zip download feature, so I guess it depends whether submodules are included in the zip or not. I will try to investigate this, thanks.
Thank you, Keith, for taking a look at it. I was too lazy to investigate it properly. If it turns out that it doesn't, we can include a file with a commit sha and a script to auto-update it, something like that.
Reacted by Keith HallI have tested, and GitHub doesn't include submodules in the zip file. Your auto update script idea sounds like a good one.
Could you (hard|soft|sym)link to the file that lives in the submodule such that GitHub adds it to the zip? And make a script to convert the file (if Git thinks the link is a file) into a link to be run after
clone?Not sure is it possible or not. Currently there is no submodule because I don't know how sublime packages with submodules work.
Obsoleted by #165?
Hi,
I believe that the Editor-Syntax repository has had a few bug fixes upstream since it was copied for use in this repo. Would it make sense to have it as a git submodule, to make it easier to see which version is currently being used by this package, and easier to update this package to use the latest version?
