That's essentially > what we're doing for the kernel, at least for the cleanup/refactor tasks. Codebase has 700+ TODO snippets, although most of the TODO files are unmaintained. The freedreno and nouveau Trello boards are in good shape, but those are C/C++ only. Some python ideas: mapi/glapi: - consolidate where applicable (there's 25 scripts) and use the Khronos XML files. anv/radv: - the entrypoint generators share ~90% (before the former was rewritten) that can be factored and reused glsl/glcpp: - rewrite completely - currently a python generator creates a shell scripts which executes another python script generic: - use mako - make the scripts compatible with python 2 and 3 - add generic function/class to manage input and output files in consistent manner - move and reuse src/mapi/glapi/gen/license.py to generate the license blorb Sadly my python skills are quite limited so I won't be a good mentor for either of these :-\ -Emil [1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/tasks/ _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
