Direction of the project

[kinggoesgaming]

I want to work on this project now that uuid@1 has been out. I did start out here, but as I have done work on it, I have realized that there a couple of issues

Issues

• The pesky .idea directory: While not a high priority in itself, this is adding of unnecessary git diff churn and that will an issue over the long term.
  • I have tried to remove the file, but somehow it keeps coming back.
• When I started, it was unplanned development. Essentially when I initially started work on this, I had certain ideas, but with me gone for this long, have completely forgotten them. I figured as I developed this, I would get that back, I guess not!

Structure

For the sake of discussion, I am going to refer the project as ruuhid

What I was thinking was having 3 binaries:

• ruuhid: The primary project, that this repository was created for. Will have its own subcommands and options.
• ruuhidgen: Will be equivalent of man 1 uuidgen, but just using uuid as the library.
• ruuhidparse: Same as above, but for man 1 uuidparse.

Direction

This has given me a couple of ways we can go forward on this, but need advice on it:

• We continue work here, as is, including figuring out how to get rid of the .idea directory.
• We purge the current work in directory. This will mess up the entire working tree, but as only one fork (and I know the person, is fine with it), this should theoretically work fine.
  • I am still iffy about purging the working tree though.
• Archive this repository and start anew. We can go 2 ways here:
  • Just create another repository and start work there.
    • This allows independent development from the uuid crate.
  • Incorporate this directly into the uuid repository as binaries.
    • Allows to stay on the latest version of uuid if we need to, but this may not be desirable, if not now, in the future.
