sure, i'm sorry if it seemed as being inpatient. i simply sent a reply to the mail to be sure that the topic is not forgotten or skipped-by-mistake. (so it was about my mail, not about those tickets) > As you correctly noted, you can already do what you proposed without > making any changes in trunk. You can override _collect_sub_objects or > delete() to implement whatever behaviour you want. to be correct, yes, i can do it, but it will be a hack (relying on an unpublished internal implementation-detail(that delete() calls _collect_sub_objects)), meaning i will have to read the diffs everytime django is updated to be sure it does not break my code (because i won't be able to rely on the backwards-incompatible-changes page in this case). > So - Feel free to work up the patch you describe and circulate it, but > I don't think it would be accepted to trunk. thanks, this was more&less what i wanted to know. > Alternatively, if you > want to take a serious swing at the ON DELETE issue, we would welcome > any contribution well, ON DELETE is a much larger topic than what i can handle currently, that's why i thought that perhaps simply making _collect_sub_objects public would allow the developers to customize the delete-behavior in a clean way. but if it's not the acceptable way, i can live with that. thanks again, and sorry if my response seemed inpatient. or, to turn this into more constructive discussion, what's the preferred thing to do, when someone does not get an answer to such a 'design decision needed' mail? should he wait more than i waited before he re-sends his question? how much? a month? i really do not know what is the 'accepted' or 'patient' or 'nice' behavior in such cases... gabor --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
