Question: Publishing regular container images or even deb/rpm packages useful / helpful for the project?
Hey guys,
was wondering if it could be useful for the project to release a moin2 container image on a regular basis, e.g. daily, based on the latest git code? It's a little related to https://github.com/moinwiki/moin-1.9/issues/79, were I created something for moin-1.9.
I want to support moin2, but need to invest some time to get familiar with the code base before I can think about any code contributions. For me it looks like providing container images or even work an deb / rpm packages could be a starting point to make it easier for someone to get started with moin2?
I understand it's still in development and things might be broken / not finished yet, but a larger user base by making the setup easy would also mean more testing and a greater chance of contributions?
Cheers Dominik
As moin2 should be primarily used by developers and power users yet, not sure if a container image is needed / useful (especially since we do not have the python2 issue with moin2).
Guess it should be rather used from a git checkout, so that changes can be contributed back in a PR / can be incrementally applied by git pull.
Next step if we get closer to a releasable state is to create pypi releases and these can then be used by package maintainers to create distribution packages.
I'd certainly find it very useful to have a PPA for deb packages. I've upgraded my server recently to the latest Debian release, but the moinmoin package has been removed, so now instead of having a legacy moin wiki, I have no wiki at all.
If a deb release can allow me to view my existing pages again, even with no other features working, that would still be much better than having nothing at all.
moin 2.0.0a13 in available on https://test.pypi.org/project/moin/. Installation instructions at https://github.com/moinwiki/moin/issues/1197. Do not use for production, new bug reports are welcome.
