- I've tested on Fedora Core 3. trial gives me one failure and one error; relevant output attached.
Yeah, those were known bugs. I didn't wait for the buildbot to go green before putting out these alphas.
- The split FAQ led me to believe there would be one Twisted package as before; which would contain everything as before. Core would be in a TwistedCore package. The tarballs on your site seem to have Core in the Twisted tarball. Is that intentional ?
Yeah. "Twisted Core" is just used to disambiguate it from the other subprojects of Twisted. AIUI, "Twisted" is officially the networking framework. The tarball that contains everything will just be a convenience, and it will be called something like TwistedSumo.tar.bz2. I encourage packagers to name the twisted core package "twisted" and twisted subproject packages "twisted-foo". A "sumo" package is unnecessary on all non-barbaric packaging systems; I only think it's appropriate in tarball and win32 form.
- I wonder why the naming of tarballs is the way it is. For example, the URL will be .../twisted/web, the import package is twisted.web, why is the tarball TwistedWeb-(version).tar.bz2 ?
I don't understand your question. The tarball contains the word "twisted" and "web", and so do your examples of the words it is derived from. What is wrong with the way it is named?
- As a general request on behalf of packagers, it's nice to not have anything but digits in version numbers. I know this is probably a contented point of view.
*shrug* none of the past RPM or deb packagers have ever asked me to change it, and they have successfully made packages.
I'll report some more when I managed to package it up (or wrest RPM's from Jeff's hands) and have been able to use them against some of our tests.
