[squid-dev] RFC submodule repositories

[ngtech1ltd at gmail.com]

Hey Amos,

I have not seen too many updates to the helpers for a very long time.
I think that separating the helpers will result in a specific build dependencies removal.
If this is the case then we need to first consider what it will cause eventually.
>From me as a builder I need a simple way to pull the full git or package.

There are specific helpers which are based on squid sources so these might be affected by any chance.

Correct me if I'm wrong about my assumption.

To my opinion if the helpers are stable by themselves then they can be moved to another git repo.
(Maybe for them to use the language default libraries is good enough)


Not related directly but if you ask me some helpers should be deprecated since we are on 5.x+
and it means that their lifecycle ended.

One example is the CentOS 6 usage to the favor of Debian 11 from Katerina.

I need to learn more about git submodules but I prefer not to for now.

Thanks,
Eliezer

When PR #937 merges we will have the ability to shuffle old helpers into 
a separate repository that users can import as a submodule to build with 
their Squid as-needed.


What (if any) updates do we need to make to Anubis and other 
infrastructure so support git submodules ?
