[isabelle-dev] Future and maintainance of ~isabelle/contrib_devel at TUM NFS

[Florian Haftmann]

Tiny instructions on changesets c97656ff4154 ff.:

* include the following snippet into your ~/.isabelle/etc/settings:

    source "${ISABELLE_HOME}/Admin/init_components"

* obtain components from Isabelle2012, http://isabelle.in.tum.de/dist or
nfsbroy:/home/isabelle/contrib; hints which components are still missing
can be obtained by a simple isabelle call (e.g. `isabelle getenv)

* try whether it works, e.g.

    isabelle jedit -bf

This is just a first start and required further thought:
* Will the idea of platform-universal components revived?  If yes, the
platform-sensitive components files can be discontinued.  I personally
like the idea, though?
* How to deal with the non-free components?  Once a solution is found
there, components can be required strictly, not liberal.
* Use this mechnisms uniformly in mira and isatest.
* Cleanup and maintainance of nfsbroy:/home/isabelle/contrib
* Should Admin/ become a component in itself?
* …

Happy hacking,
	Florian
