No new information added, rather removed lots of technical details,
which do not belong into design documentation. And try to present
the existing information more comprehensively
..at that time, that page was hastily written do document an
somewhat controversial implementation draft, which later on evolved
into the Application-main object Lumiera relied on since then.
Recently, a dedicated page dealing with subsystems and lifecycle
has been added to the Architecture section; so this page here
should be rewritten to focus on the "Application realm" as such.
- most notably the NOBUG logging flags have been renamed now
- but for the configuration, I'll stick to "GUI" for now,
since "Stage" would be bewildering for an occasional user
- in a similar vein, most documentation continues to refer to the GUI
a long standing TODO to document the actual start-up sequence, which
is implemented this way since a long time now. There was an unwritten
section in the "Linking and Application Structure", which seems the
apropriate place for this kind of intricate techincal details.
Last week, Benny Lyons was here on visit in munich and he was pondering
the idea of an experimental secondary build system, as a way to learn
more about the source structure of Lumiera. This reminded me to fill
some missing parts of the documentation. Possibly this is also the
right moment to land the GTK-3 transition?
