[FE-discuss] Weekend IRC Based Sprint

[Chris Lambacher]

Hi,

I am pulling this out of the docs thread where it was kind of buried.
The suggestion was made to have a sprint coordinated via IRC some
upcoming weekend. Some goals would be:

- Bugs:
- fix the critical ones so that we can do a 1.2.5 release and
start on a 1.3.x series that can break compatibility with Python 2.3
(see https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27762170
and related thread).
- Close enough that we can make a the move to the bitbucket
issue tracker without to much effort to convert the existing bugs.

- Documentation:
- fill in the pieces that went missing like the validators page
(is this from a partial conversion to Sphinx?)
- move doc hosting to Read the Docs (we'll maintain
formencode.org as the url)


Discussion so far has revolved around it being over a weekend. I am
pretty booked up through the end of September but the weekend of Oct 1
looks like it will work for me. How does that suit other people?

See Ian Wilson's patch which I have already committed.

The main problem is getting autodocs to work on RTD. It seems the
project user needs to be whitelisted for that. I'll try to contact the
RTD people via IRC to solve this.

Unfortunately that's not possible for me. The weekends before or after
would be better.

Hi,

The following weekend, Oct 8, would also be okay for me, but I'm in
Canada and that is our Thanksgiving weekend so I am likely to have
some responsibilities around that (we are hosting this year).

Hi,

My project releases just got pushed back due to a delay in getting
hardware so my schedule just changed and I will be occupied the
weekends of Sept 24, Oct 1 and Oct 8. The weekend of Sept 24 is
likely to be the least busy of those for me if it needs to be one of
those weekends. My other weekends look to be fairly free at this
point.

That sounds good to me.

I have just announced Sep 24 on the TurboGears list.

Btw, besides/before working on the bugs in the SF tracker we also need
to increase the test coverage. The validators module has only 55%.

That really saddens me.

So we're talking about doing a sprint on Sept 24 and meeting in #formencode
on freenode? If yes I'll start promoting it as well.

Yes to the date.

There's a #formencode on freenode?

Now there is :)

[Christoph Zwerschke]

As a reminder, we wanted to have an IRC sprint in #formencode at
freenode today, with the following goals:

* Work on the SF tracker tasks (44 open)
at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=91231
* Review the pull requests on bitbucket
* Improve test coverage
* (Maybe) improve Sphinx docs
* Finish bugfix version 1.2.5
which should be fully backward compatible
and particularly still work with Py 2.3
* (Maybe) start working on version 1.3
where we start modernizing the code,
require Py 2.4 and add Py 3.0 support via 2to3
(see pull request #3 old repos)

Not sure who can participate today and how far we can get, but I'll
start working on some open tasks already as I don't know how much time I
will have later in the day.

-- Christoph

[Christoph Zwerschke]

Short summary: We fixed nearly half of the open bugs,
i.e. got half the way towards releasing 1.2.5. We can
tackle the remaining bugs at the next sprint Oct 15.

To be fair, 28% are also covered by doctests. Not sure how much they
overlap. I think where helpful as examples they should stay in the
docstrings, but we should convert them to unittests to anyway.
