thoughts, notes and mooo...
I didn't finish my report on the Neanderthal sprint. Let's see if I can wrap it up now:
On Thursday and Friday Luciano and I continued on pinning down versions for the dependencies of Grok. Thursday existed mostly of testing and trying to get as much "properly" released packaged included in the list as possible. Even if this meant we had to downgrade some of these.
One of the more restrictive criteria was to maintain compatibility with the Windows platform. Some of the eggs contain platform specific dependencies but these binaries are not always up-to-date with the most recent source releases.
At the end of Thursday we had a more or less working versions list and ideas on how to make buildout use an "official" versions.cfg file, that is published as part of a Grok release.
The solutions are described here: http://grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/readme.html
Friday consisted mostly of writing that report. But of course we had to properly wrap up the sprint as well. We gathered the groups of people that were still there (some had to leave on Wednesday and Thursday already) and reviewed the checkins that were done, had a first look at the new Grok website, and made a list of post sprint follow ups.
Last week I got postive feedback on the changes on grokproject and merged the changes to the trunk. Martijn and I got Grok-0.10.1 released and pushed grokproject-0.6 out the door as well..!
And by now, Grok turned 1 year old! And we're heading for a 1.0 release...
other people about the Neanderthal-sprint: Martijn's blog entry , Luciano's photos , and two entries by Lennart Regebro. When I find more, I'll add them.
