Submodules: question and suggestion

[charlesroddie]

Given that submodules are used, what is the way to use them with Visual Studio?

git submodule update -- init works sometimes but not always.

Still leaves

If we get instructions here we can then put them on the main page. Currently I have to ask @Happypig375 for submodule maintenance every time I try to work with the repo.

Also can we review what submodules are needed?

• Wiki can be placed directly in the repo so doesn't need to be a submodule.
• Why is SkiaSharp.Extended a submodule? The nuget package should be used.
• Need for Typography submodule is tracked here: NuGet package? LayoutFarm/Typography#96
• Why is nerdamer a submodule?

Those three submodules have been removed, just delete these folders.

Wiki can be placed directly in the repo so doesn't need to be a submodule.

It syncs with the wiki page directly, and it is a repository itself. Therefore, a submodule is used. It was renamed to CSharpMath.Wiki from wiki, so you can delete wiki.

Why is SkiaSharp.Extended a submodule? The nuget package should be used.

It was a submodule because there were SVG fixes not present in the NuGet package which was very outdated. This dependency is now removed, you can delete it.

Need for Typography submodule is tracked here: LayoutFarm/Typography#96

It currently points to my fork until LayoutFarm/Typography#192 is merged.

Why is nerdamer a submodule?

That was before I discovered https://github.com/asc-community/AngouriMath. I planned to wrap a JavaScript math evaluation library. That is now removed. You can delete it safely. (I didn't like MathNet.Symbolics's API design.)

Also can we review what submodules are needed?

There are currently AngouriMath, CSharpMath.Wiki and Typography. AngouriMath has NuGets, but I would like to keep even more up-to-date than the NuGet packages, so any PRs made by me can be used even more quickly.

Any more questions?

[charlesroddie]

Just nuking and re-cloning my repo now.

[charlesroddie]

Cloning from VS works and runs the forms example project.

[Happypig375]

Okay, problem has been solved.

[charlesroddie]

No just the initial workflow passed for building and running.

It actually leaves the system in an error state

[charlesroddie]

AngouriMath has a nuget package so we should use that (assuming that the projects dependent on it should remain in this repo).

[Happypig375]

Sometimes you need to do git submodule update again when submodules are updated.
