So, Jp and I ran into our first Big Problem with the Twisted split. First, though, we *have* gotten the TwistedNews repository set up: svn://svn.twistedmatrix.com/svn/TwistedNews/trunk or svn+ssh://.... The problem is the tap plugin. Currently both TwistedNews and Twisted have a plugins.tml that contains a "news" tap plugin. We assume that we'll leave twisted.news in Twisted for a little while for backwards compatibility. The alternatives that we've come up with are like so: 1) Rename 'mktap news' to 'mktap newsnews' in TwistedNews. Rename it back to 'news' when we get rid of twisted.news. This is Jp's solution. 2) Add an optional argument to the register() call in plugins.tml: allowOverride=True. This would mean that another register() call with similar arguments would override this one, whether it gets executed before or after this one. We would pass this argument to our deprecated tap-plugins in Twisted's plugins.tml. This is my solution. I dislike the idea of a rename, because not only would we force users to change what they're doing now, we'd force them to change what they're doing later when we get rid of twisted.news. This problem is going to have to be solved now, because we'll have similar problem with pretty much all of the packages we'll be splitting from Twisted. -- Twisted | Christopher Armstrong: International Man of Twistery Radix | Release Manager, Twisted Project ---------+ http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/
