'''Sigh'''
If this is how the Django community values bug fixes, than I won't bother
from now on. I have already caught a critical bug in the model validation
before, and it was quickly fixed. I don't see what the difference is. Is
it just because this one isn't critical. It just makes you give up a
feature, so that's not important?
I'm sure that you have more than just the lack-of-process as a means for
dismissing this bug fix as banter. If I owned a automotive shop, and a
person brought me their manual and said "It says that the cigarette
lighter gets hot, but it's not working", I wouldn't simply tear the page
out of the manual and say "There, now it does just what the manual says.".
The documentation was not the issue. The code was, and blithering about
bureaucratic processes won't change that. I practically wrote a
Wikipedia.org article about this, and your complaint is that of a lack of
due diligence. I don't know how to make a diff, and I haven't really used
unit testing (however, this code will not break already existing module-
level tests). The code was documented exactly as needed. I just know
enough to find the bugs, and I thought that might be some help to an open
source community. I guess I'm wrong. I'll leave this closed instead of
fighting my case, but if you change your mind and there is something I can
do to help (aside from a diff or unit test), please let me know and I will
do it right away.
