Hi,
I realize that we are in the middle of a huge discussion on GLEP 42 news
items, but I think I have a need for such a news item at the moment, and
getting more items to discuss may help move the discussion forward. I'm
appending the news item below.
That said, unfortunately GLEP 42 is not going to be useful for the
intended purpose... The reason for this is that it does not take into
account if the specific user can actually upgrade because it does not
take stable/testing into account. So a user on stable will see the
message once the new package hits the tree but can't upgrade yet, and
will probably have forgotten if the package moves to stable after one or
several months.
What I would like to happen is that the message is added to the tree
once, shown to users who have dev-ruby/radiant in testing immediately,
and only shown to other users of dev-ruby/radiant when they move radiant
to testing or radiant itself becomes stable for them. I don't see a
mechanism to avoid this with the current GLEP, but perhaps I overlooked
something? I guess this is what the Display-If-Upgrading-From-To: that
Ciaran mentioned would do, but I'm wondering if GLEP 42 makes any sense
without it.
Granted, for Radiant specifically this point is moot since there is only
a version in testing, but the general point remains.
Kind regards,
Hans
Title: Radiant upgrade from 0.5.2 to 0.6.*
Author: Hans de Graaff <graaff@gentoo.org>

Posted: 06-May-2007
Revision: 1
Display-If-Installed: =dev-ruby/radiant-0.5.2
Radiant 0.6.* is in many cases not a seamless update from 0.5.2, and
if you are currently running your site based on the gem then the
upgrade will break your site. Apart from a number of minor
configuration changes, the plugin system has been removed and changed
to a new extension system with slightly different semantics.
If you have any plugins installed in your Radiant installation you
will need to find replacement extensions first or rewrite the plugins
to use the extension system.
