developing pywbxml

[Philipp Seidel]

Hi all,

I am using pywbxml and I am looking for some additional information. But I
can't find any information on synce.org. Will you develop pywbxml in the
future? I ask because you have striped all the dependencies form the synce
source and there are no changes to pywbxml since the last 9 month.

It would be nice to have some new features(e.g. setting the wbxml version on
runtime) in it. I would create a new pywbxml project on sf.net and go on
adding new features to pywbxml.

Thoughts?

If you want to add more features to the pywbxml wrapper code, I personally
don't see a problem with it, but I'm also not the original author of the
code. Perhaps someone else has a better answer for this?

If you want to change the underlying libwbxml library and contribute changes
to that, you'll have to get in touch with its author. That's the part we
were having trouble with -- I had submitted our patches, but after more than
a few months, they were still not applied and I did not hear back about their
status (hence our reason to drop the dependency).

I seriously doubt that anyone here would continue to make changes to pywbxml
or produce more patches for libwbxml, since we were all so glad when we
finally dropped those dependencies.

+1 on what Richard said. libwbxml seems a little dead upstream. If it
were active then I guess the preferred action would surely be to get
pywbxml included as part of libwbxml? But as long as there is no
libwbxml action upstream, we are done with pywbxml.
