Hi I just notice two things that got imported into trunk and I had to post something.
tg-admin and quickstart templates where the two of the most horrible parts of the original TG. tg-admin grew out of the templates engine and that's why it's based on paster and not a real commandline util. I say we need to stop that, which brings us to the question does tg really needs a cmd tool? I think we do but not for the core most of the old command module where development tools and/or wrappers to other commandline tools, we need to separate paster from the CLI and do a real CLI maybe based on the cmd module and/or have commands be loaded from entry points but the whole idea is too keep it simple none of this CLI tools are going to be used by "mortal users" so they should be smart and try not to have 100 switches noone will use. seconds the templates, they are horrible to code, all the branching with SO/SA made me go dizzy, so we need a better approach to building templates, and the problem is really with all the branching, for example having a full project be build with optional SO/SA/identitySO/identitySA, will mean having 4 different templates so we really need second the size just look at http://trac.turbogears.org/browser/trunk/tg/pastetemplates/turbogears/%2Bpackage%2B that's almost 10 folders of stuff, stuff that is going to break projects on updates, stuff people are never going to touch because they may break something, do we really need ALL that stuff?? code generation is sometimes the way to go but I'm starting to think here it's a bad idea. specially with all those instances with the name of the package, it makes it a pain to upgrade when the templates from which you started changes. Don't you think we are imposing something way to rigid? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
