Hi folks,
I had a short email conversation with Prim András the original author of geanyembrace.He did not touch this plugin for quiet a long time and doesn't plan to do so in future.
Does anybody of you use the plugin and might like to become maintainer? If not, what we going to do with it?
Cheers, Frank

Is it even a "Geany Plugin"? All I know is the plugins.geany.org page for it is blank and it's outside of the (real) plugin root directory in the source tree.
What does it do? I can't really tell from the ReadMe.html in its doc/ directory.
Cheers, Matthew Brush

IIRC its wraps (embraces?) things with optional text, targeted at XML open/close tags but general. Sadly the Geany devel ML isn't searchable to find the initial discussions.

Ah.
The geany-zencoding plugin can do this (and much more), though it's not an official "Geany Plugin".
Personally, I have no interest in maintaining it. Maybe someone could send a message on the users list asking if anyone even uses it.

Why not :-)
But zencoding does have an external dependency that embrace does not.

Yes, I guess this points to the fact that we might need a plugin deprecation process, IIUC there are several plugins that don't get much love.

Mostly because I like using real Git and having it on GitHub. Also, it's a pain having a plugin with it's own autotools and GP autotools build systems mixed, at least as far as I've figured out.

Who doesn't have Python? :) (ok, windows guys, but still...)

Ahh, dear old autofools .... ya gotta hate it.
Still you could get it listed on the website as an external plugin like embrace and keep your bespoke methods. (And ref our other thread, you have tested it on all permutations of Linux & windows, 32 and 64 bit, X86, Atom and Arm? ;-)

I was thinking of zencoding itself :-) but since you mention Python...

Nope, just Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 myself, others have used it with Fedora from what I gather.

Zencoding isn't a dependency as the python scripts are included with the plugin. Since Geany can not support Python (yet) I had to embed the Python interpreter.

the lists are searchable on http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.editors.geany. Not as nice as some builtin search in the list archives directly but it works at least.

Hey Enrico,
Ahhh, the Geany website only points to the user list there, not devel.

Fixed on the website and I also added a Gmane link to the mailman list information page on https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel.
And I did the same for the geany-i18n list.
Lex, thanks for the notice.

As it appears nobody wants to take it over and I've got the ok of the original author I will purge it from current trunk soonish. However, if somebody is having interested in maintaining it, the source will be still available in history of svn :)
