README.md points to outdates web pages

Open BeckerWdf opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug The README.md file points to https://www.eclipse.org/swt/fixbugs.php. This contains outdated information as well e.g. like a link to https://www.eclipse.org/swt/git.php (on which we find "As part of the Eclipse Git migration, SWT has moved all of its CVS projects into 2 Git repos").

Expected behavior What's the plan for such information? Should they move to a CONTRIBUTING.md or the GitHub wiki pages of this project?

to a CONTRIBUTING.md

If somebody points me to a current description what needs to be done (I remember that some weeks ago the process with the binaries repo changed to LFS etc.) I can try to provide a corresponding PR.

I just also found e.g. https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/wiki/SWT-Developer-Guide#introduction which still describes the process with the two repos

IIRC @HannesWell wanted to update the SWT build wiki at some point in the future

As for the fixbugs link I think https://github.com/eclipse-platform/.github/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md is a good place to point to. Maybe add some of the SWT content to it.
