I just thought that maybe my moving the "modules" folder in the Startingpoint template to other repo, like bling, we could have a better way to keep everyone up-to-date with their module implementations, without requiring them to sync their repos with github's fork thing (which can be very annoying at times when merge conflicts happen)

Having this pattern someone could just clone their own if they want, too

So adding the bling module from the containerfile?

Gerblesh•9/10/23, 1:50 AM

The module being contained in the repo?

tulipOP•9/10/23, 1:51 AM

Hmmmm how can I explain it

tulipOP•9/10/23, 1:52 AM

instead of having this folder at the individual repo level, we could just clone it in the Containerfile from ublue-os/bling:latest

tulipOP•9/10/23, 1:52 AM

like we can already do with other files in the "files" folder in that image

tulipOP•9/10/23, 1:53 AM

so all standard modules used in startingpoint are defined there and cloned by everyone

tulipOP•9/10/23, 1:55 AM

something like this!

tulipOP•9/10/23, 1:58 AM

having that, someone could just extend the pattern like this

Ttulip something like this!

Gerblesh•9/10/23, 2:02 AM

I like the idea of fetching modules, but we need to figure out how we do documentation for them

Gerblesh•9/10/23, 2:02 AM

Since currently documentation is in-repo

tulipOP•9/10/23, 2:03 AM

oh.....

tulipOP•9/10/23, 2:03 AM

yeah that is an issue

Gerblesh•9/10/23, 2:08 AM

It also makes it harder to modify stock modules. I like the idea for the

bling

bling

module, as it relies on the bling repo already, but the other modules don't rely on external repos

Gerblesh•9/10/23, 2:13 AM

@hermmm probably has some ideas on this. Moving the docs into the website would probably be the best course of action if we were to fetch modules from a separate repo. Though I dunno if that repo should be bling itself

xyny•9/10/23, 7:22 AM

Hey @tulili and @Gerblesh ! I actually thought about this, but didn't consider the modules angle. Putting them in bling with the docs pulled onto the website would serve really well! The reason I didn't think about it, though, is because I kind of want startingpoint to be a self-contained system. But I guess that's not as noble of a goal as better portability. The docs is a non-issue since other README's are already pulled there, could reutilize the same codre

xyny•9/10/23, 7:23 AM

My secret future plans were to, once startingpoint becomes too big, create a marketplace action that does everything startingpoint does but without having all the code in the repo.

xyny•9/10/23, 7:23 AM

But I guess that could be done even with the modules in bling.

xyny•9/10/23, 7:24 AM

And creating your own modules wouldn't be that big of a deal. There'd still be a module folder local to your repository, it'd just be empty.

xyny•9/10/23, 7:25 AM

But the merge conflicts angle is unlikely, since modules are not intended for the user to change. But I guess someone might want to add extra features to a module.

@beekabop I'm around this afternoon for a bit if you wanna try to move the repo over?

Jj0rge @beekabop I'm around this afternoon for a bit if you wanna try to move the repo ...

i think you submit, we've done this before

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:20 AM

transfer button in the danger zone wont work. sad

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:20 AM

You don’t have the permission to create public repositories on ublue-osYou don’t have the permission to create public repositories on ublue-os

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:21 AM

but probably that is the way

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:22 AM

or just clone and push. we work something out

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:45 AM

oh ok

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:50 AM

i think this will do, https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/duplicating-a-repository#mirroring-a-repository

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:51 AM

ok working it now

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:51 AM

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:55 AM

ok email in your inbox

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:55 AM

I just forked it.

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:56 AM

I'll leave branch protection off once you're happy, then we'll make it like the other repos

beekabop•9/10/23, 11:57 AM

alright that should work

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:58 AM

building!

j0rge•9/10/23, 11:58 AM

(we can probably turn off 37)

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:00 PM

sweet

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:02 PM

interesting, some are red, on push to ghcr while others have no problem there

j0rge•9/10/23, 12:04 PM

yeah probably something a retry will fix

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:04 PM

i will turn off 37 and let it build again

j0rge•9/10/23, 12:06 PM

yeah I am on a big delay, hotel wifi, heh.

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:06 PM

oh well, you enjoy your trip so far?

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:07 PM

this is stupid i cannot create pr into ublue-os/framework only my one

j0rge•9/10/23, 12:08 PM

oh weird.

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:08 PM

i need to work on the fork ofcourse now

j0rge•9/10/23, 12:08 PM

oh, you have maintain privs here, check your inbox

beekabop•9/10/23, 12:09 PM

woow

I just thought that maybe my moving the "modules" folder in the Startingpoint template to other repo
