[lldb-dev] lldb-mi has been moved to its own GitHub repository

[Raphael Isemann via lldb-dev]

Agreed, I made a PR (which is work in progress):
https://github.com/lldb-tools/lldb-mi/pull/5 (I didn't try compiling
against a compiled LLDB, so that is subject to change).

> lldb-mi has been moved out of the LLDB source tree into its own GitHub repository here: https://github.com/lldb-tools/lldb-mi lldb-mi is now a standalone tool that builds against LLDB, but is no longer build as part of LLDB. The implications for users are:

> 1. Package maintainers need to package lldb-mi and no longer receive the lldb-mi executable as a side product of LLDB. The lldb-mi build system is very simple, so I don’t expect a lot of problems arising from this change. Note: You can *NOT* drop in the lldb-mi source into the old folder inside the LLDB source tree. You need to first build LLDB and then build lldb-mi against it.

Note that during the move lldb-mi lost its test suit, meaning that there are currently no tests run in the CI. This was mostly because we couldn’t port over the old test suit (which depended on the internal LLDB python test suit) and because most of the tests we had were anyway disabled due to random failures. If you want to get started, feel free to make pull requests with tests (preferable more reliable than the old ones we had).
