* .gitignore (tsconfig.tsbuildinfo): Ignore generated file (used for
incremental builds).
* Makefile.am (tsout): New variable an recipe.
(modindex, check): Depend on tsout.
* dummy.ts: New (temporary) file. Will be removed once we have at least one
ts file.
* npm-shrinkwrap.json: Update.
* package.json.in (devDependencies)[typescript]: New dependency.
* tsconfig.json: New configuration file.
Copyright notices updated. More casual references to "LoVullo
Associates" replaced with "RT Specialty / Lovullo", which will be "RT
Specialty Buffalo" in the future. Or "RT Specialty", depending on how
this is rolled out. Or "Ryan Specialty Group". Who knows.
"R-T Specialty, LLC." is the legal name, which includes the dash. Not
to be confused with a certain television network.
I have sat on releasing a lot of this code for years because I wanted
the liza repo to be in a pristine state---tests and all---which
required a great deal of refactoring. Well, that never happened, and
time is up.
LoVullo Associates---my employer---has been purchased by another
company. This means that any agreement with LoVullo regarding
releasing free software is going to have to be re-negotiated with this
new company, and I have no idea how those negotiations will go. So,
I have no choice but to simply release everything in its current state,
or risk it being lost forever.
This represents work over the past 6--7 years, 99.9% of it written by
me. This project has been my baby for quite some time, and has been
through a number of battles with deadlines and other unfortunate
circumstances; the scars show. I also didn't really "know" JS when
starting this project. Perhaps you can help improve upon it.
There are some odds-and-ends that could be committed. And references
to insurance and LoVullo need to be removed to generalize this.
I hope that this will not be the last public commit for this project.
I'll fight the good fight and we'll see where that takes us. Maybe
it'll be easy.
Happy hacking.
