i've got pymel working in 8.5 now. i had no idea there would be such an outcry :) i will post a second RC today. one of the really cool features of pymel0.9 is available only in 2009. it's a name independent node hash, which lets us use PyNodes as keys in dictionaries which remain valid even if the object changes names. this has some potential for some pretty cool applications. not a reason in itself to upgrade, but just a little nudge :) > Chad, what do you think about putting online a git version of pymel, > allowing all the part-time hackers out there to contribute more > easily. > Currently I am tracking your svn repository with git-svn ( which is > generally fine ), but would have to send patches to you in case I want > to make good hacks available. i'm very interested in becoming more familiar with git. correct me if i'm wrong here, but there would not need to be a public git repo for this to work: if i began also using git-svn locally i could be the gatekeeper responsible for merging in others' patches? -chad On Feb 11, 2009, at 8:13 AM, Sebastian Thiel wrote: > > Thus supporting maya 8.5 could improve the potential user base quite a > bit it seems :). > > Chad, what do you think about putting online a git version of pymel, > allowing all the part-time hackers out there to contribute more > easily. > Currently I am tracking your svn repository with git-svn ( which is > generally fine ), but would have to send patches to you in case I want > to make good hacks available. > Using git though, sending these patches by email and applying them > ( to > finally merge them into the main branch of pymel ) would be much > easier > on your side as this workflow is directly supported. > Git would not replace the main svn repository, but would be a means of > easily getting and tracking quick patches that others do. > > This surely does not only apply to pymel, but to any other open source > project. > > Just putting 'git' onto the table for discussion, > Sebastian [ who is happily working with git and svn for quite a while > now, seeing the benefits ] > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Yours, Maya-Python Club Team. -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
