a new Mustache release?

[gasche]

It would be nice if we had a new Mustache release; currently I write code with mustache pinned on master, but this makes distributing the resulting software awkward.

In an ideal world, we would have found time to solve #61, #66 and maybe even #40 before the next release. In practice we are all very busy, and having a release in the current state would be strictly more convenient (for me) than no release at all.

(If someone, presumably @rgrinberg, is willing to take care of the release, and has a small amount of time to look at some of those issues, I would suggest maybe trying to merge #66 (package split), using mustache-ocaml (my best suggestion in #61) as the binary name, squashing those two issues at once. Then we can discuss #40 on its own terms, independently of the release schedule; it sounds like more work.)

Sounds good to me. I'll try to get to it this week but no promises. Feel free to make releases yourself as well.

Gentle ping: I'm still interested in a release -- but I wouldn't dare doing a release myself as I'm not sure what your precise workflow is.

(I have a small side-project using both (a development version of) Mustache and Timere's Timedesc module; the Timere talk at the OCaml Workshop today reminded me that I still have to release it.)

I see that a lot of good work and effort has gone into mustache. Since xapi uses it, is there anything I can do to help with maintainership of the project?

[rgrinberg]

Added you as a collaborator.

Thanks, will prepare a release this week, then push forward some of the pending PRs / ideas

I've branded a new release and I'm pushing it to opam, only old versions of soupault failed with the newest changes: https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/pull/24839

Thanks! I am very bad at releasing stuff, so I never got the courage to do it myself, but having a release is nice.

(I vaguely remember that I promised somewhere to contribute a Mustache release, but never got around to it. Oh well.)
