10/15/2015, 7:29 PMyea, with you. - h

10/15/2015, 7:29 PMYeah, but imagine an existing codebase (say Uber or someone) - h

10/15/2015, 7:29 PMand the first thing we say is "change your source roots"... - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:29 PMwouldn't they need to anyway? - w

10/15/2015, 7:29 PMAs long as there's a pattern, no - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:30 PMthe difference is just whether it is repeated, or singular - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:30 PMfixed vs a pattern - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:30 PMI'm imagining a nightmare scenario where they have a few hundred source roots, and we fail to capture some or all of them via the simple "prefix+lang name" pattern. - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:30 PMWe could just say "OK, you need 300 fixed source roots in your pants.ini" - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:30 PMBut I would rather have the intermediate capability - w

10/15/2015, 7:31 PMk - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:31 PMOf allowing them to specify a pattern not of the form prefix+lang name - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:31 PMAt least these are advanced options, so no one really needs to tinker with them - h

10/15/2015, 7:32 PMNo one who isn't a repo admin, I mean - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:32 PMone last suggestion then. allow a generic "language wildcard" in the patterns - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:32 PMin the absence of additional configuration, it would just be ignored. - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:32 PMbut in the future, it would be a way to capture the language. - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:32 PMHmmm - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:32 PMYes, was just thinking of something like that - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:32 PM(ie, rather than having it always be a suffix.) - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:33 PMThe trie would have to be clever about wildcard matching - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:34 PMBut that might actually be not hard - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/15/2015, 7:35 PMyea... "matches anything" - h
happy-kitchen-89482
10/15/2015, 7:35 PMThat seems do-able - w

10/15/2015, 7:36 PMthanks again for working on this.
