unify forks

[tkruse]

Hello ondrej,

I had already put cpplint on github here:
https://github.com/tkruse/cpplint

I have not modified the code (I think), but I made it available on pypi:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cpplint
That way it is easy for people to install.

If you are interested, we could merge your modifications and my structure to put on pypi, and then if you like you could maintain on pypi (release 0.0.4 under your maintainer name).

Hi Thibault,

I've made a few modifications, but I didn't pull any updates from the "official" repository at Google Code since 2011, which probably means that my version is too old to be useful.

I'll see if I can push my changes directly to the official version - it might take some time and I'm not sure they'll be accepted, but it's worth trying and it would save a some patching and merging.

Re maintaining the version on pypi - I've never maintained a project like this so I'm not sure how much work/responsibility that means. But if it takes just a couple of minutes per release, I might be able to do it.

hah, same as me, but it was only 3 commits since 2012. I also asked the last committer whether google cannot just mantain this on github, since by now I found at least 3 other forks. Putting stuff on Pypi is no big deal, but you need an account, password, etc. I have not done anything for this the last 2 years, so it's not that much responsibility, or I am not a responsible person :-)
Let's wait if the last commiter answers

In any case I updated my fork, and added a README.md with maintenance instructions. some git skills would be required.

Also I submitted most of my patches to the google styleguide issue tracker:
https://code.google.com/p/google-styleguide/issues/list
If you submit your changes there, maybe they'll get accepted. However I think they added a feature similar to the one you added.
