Hi together,
as a result of this discussion, here we go:
http://dmaphy.fedorapeople.org/geany-tags/I did not request an official review for the package, though. Since it there are some issues I'd like to clarify in advance:
I have to set a License: tag for the package, it is not mentioned under which license the "tags project" is distributed
the source tarball is pulled from here at present:
That page is sending the correct file name via HTTP headers, a users browser suggests to save the downloaded file as geany-tags.tar.bz2 then. A command line tool like wget or Fedoras spectool don't.
It's running a little CGI Python script I made that creates the tarball on-the-fly. It uses the following header:
Content-Type: application/octect-stream Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=geany<-language>-tags.<ext> Content-Length: <size of tarball>
You can see more looking at the script on the server and it also has a help output: http://wiki.geany.org/get_tags?help=true
- There doesn't seem to be any release concept yet for the tags, thus a version is completely missing at present. It's a lot of effort for a package maintainer to track changes and keep his package up-to-date with latest tags files.
My suggestion: Create a new Git repository under the hood of Geany at GitHub, add or update new tags files as pull requests, tag releases (e.g. 0.21 and when additional tags files come through, increase to 0.21.1 and so on) and have branches for different Geany versions.
Objections on this?
No objections here. All it would take is to re-link the stuff on the wiki page to download from the github address using a little script/sed. Not sure if the above Python tarball script would be useful still, but that's ok.
