This is just my personal style of development. A bit chaotic. Sometimes trial and error. And really a lot of git rebase -i. Whenever I find some necessary or helpful change that could be done before porting, put that at the top of the patch list and readjust everything. The methodic part comes last: Look at what I changed, rethink why that is really needed, and look for similar places I overlooked. Then generate tickets for things that seem ready. BTW what about Ticket 7628, news extension "port"? I could soon start feeding porting tickets but if this extension is useful, I guess it should be applied first. > I think that before the Twisted project wants to call a particular > module ported, we want it to have test coverage that can run on Python > 3. I was afraid you'd say that. https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Plan/Python3 does not explicitly say so, maybe this should be changed. I can do that, but then I have no write permission for the wiki. > I'll let other people volunteer projects they know of - but I strongly > suspect there are few or no such applications. That makes me wonder if I really should have used PB at all. But now I do and have no plans to change that. > Again, it seems unfortunate that you have all of this work ... > somewhere.

I believe I saw some mailing list posts where many years ago somebody said he has spread running with PY3 but as it seems nothing of that got into trunk. Be assured that I want to avoid that. What is the preferred place for Twisted public repositories? No svn please, only git. But first I want to do some more cleaning and reshuffling, I cannot really do that anymore with commits already pushed to a public repository. Maybe 2 or 3 weeks. -- Wolfgang _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
