Re: RBTools 0.2.0 released

2010-04-19 Thread Christian Hammond 
We'll be going through the patches and reviewing/committing them
before too long. RBTools was feature-frozen, so we didn't want to add
new code that needed a lot of testing or could lead to regressions.

I want to hold off for now on the patchset option because we might
have a SoC student  working on a new, better way of doing patchsets in
Review Board. We might need to repurpose or remove that flag with this
support, which would just be confusing to those who are used to it
working a certain way. Will know more once we've made final decisions
on the SoC proposals.

Re: RBTools 0.2.0 released

2010-04-19 Thread Stephen Gallagher 

Great to see the stable release of 0.2.0.

I was wondering about the state of reviewed, but unpushed, patches for 
RBTools. For example, I submitted a patch for adding a --git-patchset 
option that was reviewed and declared ShipIt a little over a week ago ( 
http://reviews.reviewboard.org/r/1472/ ).  The change is non-destructive 
to existing code, and I was hoping to see it make it into a release.


Any chance it will be accepted into the upstream repository soon, so I 
will feel justified in including it in the RBTools RPM I'm going to be 
building? I wrote this patch because it was the most requested feature 
among the developers I queried regarding our forthcoming ReviewBoard 
deployment.

Hi everyone,

We just released RBTools 0.2.0. There are many fixes for issues people 
hit in 0.2 RC 1, and we recommend that everyone upgrade. More 
information can be found at the news post and release notes.

http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/releasenotes/dev/rbtools/0.2/



I'm trying to plan for the next couple of releases. We want to take 
RBTools to a new level and move much of the internals of post-review 
out into a publicly accessible Python API. In the meantime, we'll add 
new, simpler tools for such things as querying/searching review 
requests, some of which may duplicate functionality in post-review. 
We'll keep post-review around for the foreseeable future, but in time 
I'm hoping to phase it out and replace it with smaller, more 
integrated tools.


We'll need to at some point require the upcoming Review Board 1.5 for 
RBTools. This is due to some major changes in the API. We'll support 
Review Board 1.0 for as many tools as we can, but some will error out 
with older servers. By this point, I hope Review Board 1.5 is more 
widespread anyway. We'll continue to support and maintain 0.2.x 
releases for a while, though, with new bug fixes.
