Hi Lenya devs,

there are various Xopus-related files in the core.

Does someone know if they can be used out of the box?


what do you mean by out of the box?


I meant if it needs more than configuration.


no, just (local.)build.properties


One needs to configure Xopus dir within (local.)build.properties and that's it


Do you know if this still works in 1.4?


I hope :-), but haven't tested it recently


i don't like having hooks for a commercial product that is not used by the majority of the community in so many places in the core.

i know that it's a legacy, and i certainly don't want to be unfriendly towards commercial add-ons, but those things should either be totally self-contained or removed. so votes++ for moving all xopus-related stufff into a module (and since no one seems to use it, the state of xopus support would stay constant at "untested" :-D)


I wouldn't like to remove it, the Xopus integration is very valuable
for the IE world.  IMO the best way would be to move it to a module
and test it, at least with the evaluation version of Xopus. But I
don't know if I find the time - any volunteers?


if it's used, somebody who needs it (or whose clients need it) should holler now and wrap it up into a module.


please give people a chance to find the time to this stuff.

but unmaintained code should not be allowed to stay in the core for longer than a grace period for very small values of grace.


I would assume the code to be working, because it works nicely within Lenya 1.2,
but maybe Lenya 1.4 broke it.

I think people (developers) on this list really need to be a bit more patient. If one is changing something, then on cannot expect that everyone else is jumping to his/her feet immediately and fixes everything else. This behaviour
will quickly destroy this community.

Please note that I am not argueing to keep things as they are, but I am
talking about how one handles changes. This is a huge difference and a very crucial one.
