Systers has developed the ability for a user to subscribe and unsubscribe from threads via Dynamic Sub-Lists. We've have gsoc students working on bug-fixes and improvements the last two years and we'd really like to make the feature available to the larger community running 2.1.x.
Right now it's a code branch on http://launchpad.net/systers that we use to update our production server via bzr.
We've only tested against 2.1.10.
Should we make a down-loadable .tgz of the source code? Or is it better offered as a patch to be applied against GNU MM 2.1.10? What is the easiest delivery method for those of you who might want to take a look at the functionality?
I didn't respond to this initially because I wanted others to have a chance to comment first, but I don't think anyone did :(
As far as I personally am concerned, the bzr branch is all that is needed. If I want to get the code locally, depending on what I want to do with it, I'll use bzr branch to make my own local branch copy or I'll use bzr export to just get the files. There's no need for a .tgz package, since I can get the same thing with bzr export.
bzr export used to be deathly slow for some unknown (to me) reason, but with recent bzr it's quite quick.
