I can't imagine myself using a huge "bundled" set of extra stuff, unless it was part of a cakephp initiative that was officially, and reliably, supported into the future with successive cake releases. Anything less, I would probably regard as too fly-by-nght to base my systems on.
The extra stuff I would want, I would in any case need to first research one by one on the bakery and this forum, and also read the code, so I could support it myself going forward. I sure wouldn't want hundreds of lines of code I didn't know, didn't need, and which wasn't supported by the cake team, just sitting around in my systems (or worse, executing). So, if I need to research everything I include anyways, what is the "bundle" saving ... copy/paste time ? Furthermore, if the code will exist in the bundles, and also on the bakery, that means the same code is in two places. Where will people write comments with further enhancements/fixes etc?. On the bakery version, or in your bundle version? Although initially this initiative may have sounded appealing to some, I think upon further thought, one might come to the conclusion that it is not really all that worth the time, noble as the originator's intentions were. A more valuable contribution along the same lines might be to identify all the contributions you would have included in your bundle, but instead of making a separate bundle (duplicating all the code in a second place), keep them in their current bakery locations, and test them with each successive cake release. Discover and offer patch suggestions for problems people report, and post the patches to the appropriate bakery pages, until the owners decide to incorporate them in their code. This way, with each successive cake release, you would help ensure the most important bakery contributions people like to use were still working correctly. That, I think, might be a more valuable contribution (but it's still lots of work). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
