blogmaker and django 1.0
Neal McBurnett
watch via the auto-synced bzr branch at
https://launchpad.net/blogmaker/trunk since I like distributed version
control.)
Now that Django 1.0 is out, is there a version of blogmaker that works
well on it, e.g. by folding in the trespams work?
Cheers,

I have made some minor modifications just to improve the performance so it has to be possible. In my opinion the new version has so many interesting thinks that it would be a pity to maintain blogmaker in 0.96.

07-sep-2008. Updated to Django 1.0. Now it works but it needs more
testing. Use at your own risk.
How it it going? Anyone else using it?
Any plans from the blogmaker folks?
Thanks again to all,

Hi Antoni.
Interesting work you've done with the trespams fork of blogmaker. I
agee, it would be nice to merge your work back into blogmaker. For
me, I had grown wary of Django because of their lack of releases (it
seemed like too much work to keep up with trunk). However, now that
they have gone 1.0 I have a renewed interest in the project.
Also, one thing that has held me back from using blogmaker is that I
could never get the tests to run and I felt uneasy about using a tool
that I could not run unit tests for. So ... I spent a small amount of
time to check out the trespams trunk and fix up the tests for
blogmaker.blog using Django 1.0
Here is a patch with svn diff against revision 70. You should be able
to apply it with: cd trespams-trunk; patch -p0 -r . <
/path/to/patchfile
Some things that are strange about it is that I had to copy the
urls.py and templates into blogmaker.blog to get tests to run in
isolation from trespams. I also commented out the trackbacks test
because that needs work. To run them, I installed all prerequisites,
created a properties.py file with cachebackend='dummy:///' then typed:
python2.5 manage.py test blog
if you want to commit this work, I may find some more time to help out
with improving the module. I suppose also we could create a branch of
the blogmaker repos to try and move this all into blogmaker. Let me
know if there is interest in that, I think I have commit privs.

Actuallly my blog is not on Django 1.0 as I have some applications in the same environment that I have to port. I think I'm going to use a virtualenv for Python to mantain them in their actual version until I have enougth time and funds to port them.

Thank you for the patch.

isolation from trespams.
This is becouse I move them in order to have the blog application as the main application and not to use mod_rewrite in apache. I don't want a http://trespams.com/blog/what-ever just http://trespams.com/what-ever and this was the fast way.
I also commented out the trackbacks test
because that needs work. To run them, I installed all prerequisites,
created a properties.py file with cachebackend='dummy:///' then typed:
python2.5 manage.py test blog

I like to see blogmaker as "the blog engine" and my first goal would be to merge Trespams with Blogmaker and add the new functions I have incorporated to Trespams to the main branch, so I be glad to work in the merge.
