Hi! Any news on the OAuth 1.0a patches?
Why am I nagging about this? Because the next version of Ubuntu has included this library: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/python-oauth Several key components of Ubuntu (the bug/crash reporting infrastructure), and the Ubuntu One product that I work on, depend on OAuth and have been using either an embedded version of this library or the new separately packaged version. Wherever possible, we want to avoid patching packages locally and work directly with upstream on getting issues solved, but I am concerned about getting this solved in the best way for all parties and all platforms. I think we have 3 options that we are considering for the packages that I'm worried about in Ubuntu: - Apply Rodney's patches to the python-oauth package directly in Ubuntu 9.10 - Have some OAuth 1.0a patches applied (whether Rodney's or others) directly in a new version of oauth.py here in the official source, and update the packages that we ship in Ubuntu to use the new version directly. - make a private fork of oauth.py, patch it and embed it in the components that I'm working on, but leaving python-oauth unpatched for the wider ubuntu community. Naturally, getting a newer version into the upstream here is the preferred option :) We're willing to provide any engineering effort required in testing and writing patches, I'm just nagging because I want the changes to happen here where they can benefit the most people rather than fixing this only for Ubuntu. Thanks a lot for everyones efforts on OAuth itself and writing these libraries.

Please file a separate case for the unit tests. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.
