Since every new port for WhiteBox has a maintenance cost, here are some guidelines for when the project will accept a new port.
- Ports should represent a significant ongoing investment to established platforms, rather than hobby or experimental code.
- As much as possible, try to use existing branches/ifdefs.
- While changes in
base
are unavoidable, higher level directories shouldn't have to change. i.e. existing porting APIs should be used. We would not accept new rendering pipelines as an example. - Send an email to REVIEW_OWNERS for approval.
