Bug#637812: extplorer embedded libraries

[Sören Eberhardt-Biermann]

Hi,

I just downloaded the Text_Diff Package from Horde. The package has 
quite large dependencies in the Horde framework.
In eXtplorer I'm using different PEAR packages, with various 
dependencies - so switching to Horde_Text_Diff would blow up eXtplorer 
even more (+172kb). I must always think of having to disribute the 
package outside of the Debian world. And there it's the best to have a 
small package (<2MB).


But besides that I'm sure that changing the code to use Horde_Text_Diff 
wouldn't be difficult...

That's great! Do you want me to put both libjs-extjs and extplorer in
collab-maint git, instead of my own Git repo? Do you have an account on
Alioth? If you don't, you should create one.

Yes, I have an alioth account, but maybe first work with "own" repos on
git.debian.org, for a start. Is there a documentation how to create one
there? Or do I need to ask the admin there?

I'm not sure a single central (git) repository would fit to DVCS work.
(See kernel.org) Several people pushing to a single branch isn't really
DVCS, so every participant would have her own branches? What would be
the "official" branch?

But alioth is fine, of course.

Will need to see when I get around to package php-text-diff as you propose.

bye,
   Roland

Bug#619642: Current version?

[Sören Eberhardt-Biermann]

Hi,

the current version of eXtplorer supports ExtJS 3.4. So there's a 
possibility to upgrade ExtJS to version 3.4, if the eXtplorer version 
can also be updated (2.1.0b6 is quite old now).
At the moment we (the eXtplorer Project) can't upgrade to ExtJS 4, 
because we are using some ExtJS-extensions by other people, which have 
not been upgraded to ExtJS 4 by now. Also ExtJS4 brings huge changes, 
comparable to the transition ExtJS1 => ExtJS2. This means a lot of work...


ciao, Sören

Package: libjs-extjs

Are there any plans to package ExtJS in its current version (3.2.x)?
I would need that for the typo3-src package.

Hi,

I have no plans to package a new version of libjs-extjs, like version 4,
unless extplorer, which is the reason why I maintain libjs-extjs in
Debian, can be tested and working with it.

I may upgrade to 3.4.0 in SID if extplorer supports it, but at some
point, extplorer will have to support extjs 4 if the plan is to keep it
in Wheezy. If not, then, I will ask removal from Wheezy of both
extplorer and libjs-extjs, because extplorer would become not
maintainable if it cannot upgrade and libextjs3 isn't supported anymore,
and I wouldn't need any of them.

Also, the fact that there is still this bug open:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600933

This bothers me. It has been reported on the21 Oct 2010, and I'm still
waiting for a fix from Soeren. He told me he has one, and it's been now
9 months. That's not encouraging, and I have in no way the ability to
fix it myself. As much as I like libjs-extjs and extplorer, I need
responsive upstreams!

That is unless, Christian, you are willing to help maintaining extjs
and/or extplorer, or if you point at another package in Debian that
needs libjs-extjs which would justify actions.

By the way, maybe Soeren Eberhardt, which is the upstream author of
Extplorer. I have put him as Cc:, can tell us if the latest 2.1 RC3 can
support the latest version of ExtJS, or if he has plans for supporting
it, and about #600933.
