I agree.
While information hiding might be a good approach in OO programming, it
doesn't seem appropriate for collaborative development.
But I also remember that Jeff has been severely bashed several times for
comitting changes into the CVS repository that didn't compile
successfully on all supported platforms. For DataAccess there have been
complaints not too long ago (Aug 9th) about not all code in the
DataAccess repository compiling, the documentation not being current,
and test routines not matching the status of the libraries.
Demanding everything in the repository to be final, compiling and
working and demanding all the latest changes and versions to be in the
repository are contradictory positions that cannot be matched.
In the current situation - given the early and unfinished status of V4
and the separate location of the DataAccess repository - I would be fine
with the stuff in the repository being not perfect, partly incomplete
and not fully documented. I think we gain a lot more from seeing the
current developments than from having a ready-to-use module at all
times. If we tag versions that compile - maybe with a special tag that
denotes the last compiling or "stable" version - anyone who needs
something to compile against will still be able to get it.
To avoid misunderstandings I would like to have explicit agreement on
this approach before encouraging Jeff to commit his latest changes.
Asking him to commit unfinished work and then complaining about it being
unfinished would be not too fair.
What do you think?
