[lldb-dev] LLDB Future Directions BoF

[Greg Clayton via lldb-dev]

I will work with the main contributors to LLDB in the near future and get something up on the http://lldb.llvm.org <http://lldb.llvm.org/> web site that addresses these issues. Once all main contributors have signed off we will make the web page live for the public to find. This is a long overdue page that needs to be created. It will allow us to modify the document as times goes on and also provide the insights as to why I decided to write LLDB in the first place, where we are going and who contributes to which parts, and what parts of LLDB need work. So stay tuned and I will reply to this message when the web page goes up, hopefully in the near future.

Over the months of reading this list I've seen that there's significant attrition on what LLVM and LLDB require of their components and there are several cases of copying entire files with diverging changes between each project, is there a simply reason on why or is it a matter of needing more time to conciliate these disparate needs ?
