PyBlosxom 1.1 status

I finished taking the GRE so now I'm going to start the long process of moving everything in /contrib to the registry, moving the flavours to the registry, and then going through the steps to release PyBlosxom 1.1.

We'll do an RC and wait a week for people to speak up about issues. That puts a PyBlosxom 1.1 release around the end of October. Things that will be in the release:

We're also removing the contrib directory and all the flavour examples. This is probably going to be controversial, but I don't think we have enough polish to continue distributing them with PyBlosxom and it'll be easier to distribute fixes and such if they're separate from the PyBlosxom release.

Wonderful!

I'v send you an email about my midification of xmlrpc_metaweblog.py and comment.py for several weeks. Did you received it ?

I won't put up opposition to this (and anyways, who am I in the pyblosxom world), but I will miss pulling down pyblosxom from CVS, symlinking to plugins in the contrib directory, doing my own hacks and having it all merged up on my next update :)

limodou--I did receive them.  I applied your changes to comments.py but haven't checked it in yet.  I've been kind of stuck on xmlrpc_metaweblog.py because it does some other things I'm not familiar with.  So I'm going to wait until after PyBlosxom 1.1 is out (hopefully soon).

Jason--That's a good point.  I think there are a few of us that do that.  What I think I'm going to do is move the contributed plugins to their own module in CVS.  So you should be able to do what you're doing today and other people will be able to get recent fixed versions of the plugins without us having to release new versions of PyBlosxom.  Theoretically, it should work for most peoples' use cases.


Please keep comments appropriate. I reserve the right to remove anonymous comments, flames, spammy, inappropriate, and other comments that I deem to be worth removing.

Note: New comments get placed in a "draft" status and will NOT show up on the site until I explicitly approve it. Usually that happens within 24 hours, but sometimes I go away and it takes a day or two.

Note 2: There is now a preview button for those of you who want to see a preview! However, it doesn't quite work the way you'd think it should work. I'll look into adjusting it some day.

Note 3: If you can't for some reason post a comment, send me an email: willg at bluesock dot org.
