Hi all,
I'd like to call for a vote on the proposal to elimintate all
parcel xml in 0.6. We can do so by creating parcel items with
schema.update() in the installParcel() hook. Phillip Eby would
drive the migration, as he did with the earlier schema API work.
Alec has an additional proposal to define cpia instances in a
specially designed cpia xml format. We can decide on this proposal
separately, after more discussion. The proposal we are voting on
here is to go ahead and make the decision to remove the parcel
loader and all parcel xml.
Benefits include (but not limited to):
* we get to stop maintaining parcel xml
* we get to avoid work in creating i18n message catalogs for
parcel xml
* parcel xml does not support all ways to create items (for
example, no constructor arguments). It will be easier to support
the full range of features with the python api.
Cheers,
Katie
