And also, the new list is currently set up with no moderation, but the incoming emails are filtered and obvious spam discarded.

Lars Wirzenius — 2011-12-12T20:59:24

Thank you from me too, Kalle.

Stephen van Egmond — 2011-12-12T16:15:09

Thanks Kalle.

Note to all, you have to resubscribe to the above list.

The new list is now ready at eoc-LZFYdJtd2EXHOG6cAo2yLw< at >public.gmane.org / eoc-subscribe-LZFYdJtd2EXHOG6cAo2yLw< at >public.gmane.org

Re: New Enemies of Carlotta repository

Lars Wirzenius — 2011-12-11T12:44:22

Nobody else has stepped up to provide another choice, I think (unless
I missed something?), so Kalle, could you set up a new list and
mail this old list with the new address? I'd like to shut down this
old list by December 20 or so.

2.0 was a complete rewrite that I started in 2005, but never finished.
I had a look at the code some months ago, and I wouldn't want to use it
now. If I were to get back to working on EoC again, I'd be starting
over from scratch again. I've learned a few new tricks since, and I'm
much more pedantic about test coverage, too.

However, I'm quite OK if someone else wants to pick up the code I
wrote back then and run with it.

Lars Wirzenius — 2011-11-23T20:10:09

Thank you, Stephen, and best of luck!

If your intent is that I merge it back, merging will be hell if you don't do this as a fork of my repository.  And I do want to merge it when it's ready.

(Is it ready?)

Re: New Enemies of Carlotta repository

Colin Viebrock — 2011-11-23T19:40:49

Yeah 2.0 was a complete rewrite, so I'll just make a EOC2 github and put the code there.

If you don't get a better choice, I can host an EoC mailing list, as 
they are usually very low on maintenance. I'm not going to be active on 
development, but will probably keep half an eye on this list in the 
future :)

Re: New Enemies of Carlotta repository

Stephen van Egmond — 2011-11-23T18:44:54

Colin-
The Github way (™) is to fork it, commit your changes, then send a pull request. Are you comfortable doing that?

I'm unfamiliar with 2.0.  It is a rewrite?

I am still making alternate arrangements for a mailing list.

Re: New Enemies of Carlotta repository

Colin Viebrock — 2011-11-23T18:28:33

Thanks Stephen (and Lars, of course).

Would it possible to put whatever code there is for EOC 2.0 on Github as well?  I have a tarball that Lars sent me back in March.  I'm assuming the code base hasn't changed since then. :)

If no one objects, I'll through that up on Github as well (or forward the tarball to you Stephen).

Dave, and EoC mailing list members:-

Lars, the original author, has announced he is through with developing the EoC mailing list manager.

I am happy to act as custodian for awhile.  I have cloned Lars' source tree from his published .tgz into a Github repository.  I plan to bump the version to 1.2.7. I might include some patches if you have any, Dave, as I see you're at 1.2.6-4.
- https://github.com/svanegmond/enemies-of-carlotta.git

The only bug list I am aware of is in Debian's repository. If there are bugs or wish list items beyond this, please add them to either Debian's or our own.

Many thanks, Lars.

Re: I will no longer be using eoc myself

Lars Wirzenius — 2011-11-15T11:29:32

That is, of course, completely OK with me. The joy of software freedom
is that you can just start doing that, and you don't even need to
consult me about it.

Anyone interested in helping Stephen?

If you do set up something, please tell me, and I'll add a link to
the new location ot my web page for EoC.

Happy hacking!

Thanks for all the hard work you have put into it. I cannot express my
appreciation for it with words.

Thank you, Lars.

I don't even have cause to run many mailing lists, but I would hate to see something so simple and useful go away. I am happy to help move the codebase over to Google Code (say), if nobody has yet.

I will no longer be using eoc myself

Lars Wirzenius — 2011-11-13T15:24:17

Hi,

I've not touched the Enemies of Carlotta code base for years now.
I'm now taking the next step where I will stop hosting any
mailing lists myself. By the end of this year, I'll be shutting
down all my remaining mailing lists, including this one, the
one dedicated to eoc.

If anyone wants to pick up hosting of this mailing list, please
set up a new list and mail the address to this list. For reasons
of privacy, I'd rather not share the current subscriber list.

If there are any serious problems with the code that need
fixing, I may be able to help with that, but on the whole,
unless someone else steps up as the maintainer, I think it's
time to declare this project dead.

Thank you from me to everyone who's ever used eoc. I enjoyed
writing it, and it's always been nice to know others are using
my software.

Happy hacking.

EOC2 source code?

Colin Viebrock — 2011-03-09T16:58:13

I thought I'd take a look at the EOC2 source code, and I can't find it anywhere.

The link at http://liw.iki.fi/liw/log/2006-Enemies-of-Carlotta.html#20060712b takes you back to the main page, which has no reference to it.  The BZR code at http://code.liw.fi/enemies-of-carlotta/bzr/trunk/ appears to be 1.2.x.

I was able to download the tarball from http://liw.iki.fi/liw/eoc/2.0.alpha1/enemies-of-carlotta-2.0.alpha1.tar.gz, but is the code under source revision anywhere?  I'm not sure if anything happened since alpha1.

I'm not looking to take over development (at this point), but I thought I might use the EOC2 code as the starting point for something.  I'm happy to stick it up on Github or something if that would be useful to others.

Thanks!

Re: md5 deprecated (patch)

Lars Wirzenius — 2010-09-13T12:59:39

Thanks, Dave.

As it happens, my bzr branch already has this fix: see
http://code.liw.fi/enemies-of-carlotta/bzr/trunk/ (that's a bzr branch;
looks empty in a web browser).

I haven't done an eoc release in a long while. Things have bit-rotted
enough that I am not sure I can make one without breaking things, and
thus I don't want to make one until I have to spend a couple of days on
it, so that I can be sure to catch any breakage, and fix anything that I
don't catch.

Dave, are you OK with carrying a patch in the Debian package, even in
the squeeze release?

md5 deprecated (patch)

Dave Holland — 2010-09-13T12:13:35

As I just found (and fixed) in the Debian e-o-c package, the md5
library is deprecated in Python 2.6. Here's a tiny patch to switch to
using hashlib.

Cheers,
Dave
