Yeah, this sound reasonable. But how do i find out in what packages i should
split intellij? E.g. just by folders like RegExpSupport
(https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/RegExpSupport),
Debugger(https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/java/debugger)
and write my own gant/ant build scripts for that? How would i import new
versions then? I mean, should i just continue with the normal debian/ upstream/
branch split and pull all changes in that particular folder (e.g. with
http://stackoverflow.com/a/13738951)?


thanks.
