Hi All,

efforts are underway to include the VMMaker source in the opensmalltalk-vm repository. I'm hoping to see all the Smalltalk source included in the Tonel format (one file per class, and one file per extended class), with support for Pharo and Squeak quite soon. This is therefore an opportunity to also reorganize the structure of the repository to have a more comprehensible and less cluttered top-level directory. I'm interested in people's ideas. here are two suggestions.

1. move all source under src and all builds under build. So

src/smalltalk/ all the VMMaker-related packages

AioPlugin

BytecodeSets

Cog

VMMaker

src/generated/ all the generated code

plugins/ all generated plugins

v3 the V3 VM (now src/vm)
spur32 the 32-bit Spur VM (now spursrc/vm)
spur64 the 64-bit Spur VM (now spur64src/vm)

src/platforms the current platforms directory

src/third-party/
processors

build/ the current build directories

macos32x86

macos64x64

deploy/

image/

tests/

2. single top-level directories for generated source, and Smalltalk source, everything else unchanged

smalltalksrc/ all the VMMaker-related packages

generatedsrc/ all the generated code as above in src/generated, but in generatedsrc instead

platforms

processors

third-party

tests

deploy

Obviously #1 is more work but produces a much cleaner structure. Other suggestions? Reactions to the above?
