RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dave Malcolm 2010-07-09 21:17:16 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #611598 +++

Spec patch to unbundle markdown/textile and cleanup for new python guidelines

Description of problem:

I've found the following code in webhelpers that appears to have been bundled from another upstream source.

* An old version of python-markdown seems to be bundled -- will need porting to work with a system library.
* An old version of python-textile is bundled -- will need porting work to work with a system library.

* feedgenerator originates in Django but has been modified.
* webhelpers/html/render.py is from ZPTKit but has been modified 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-webhelpers-1.0

Additional info:

I haven't explored the modifications to feedgenerator and render.py yet.  If they've been heavily modified, they could get an exception from FESCo (although, depending on the modifications, it might be a case of needing to send the modifications to the django/ZPTKit upstreams to be merged instead).

I'll attach a source code and spec file patch for python-markdown and python-textile.

Patch to unbundle and update markdown nad textile

This patch updates the included markdown and textile to current versions and adds code so that system versions of the libraries are used in preference to the bundled versions.

Cloning for RHEL6.

RHEL6 currently contains python-webhelpers-0.6.4  It's not my intention at this time to upgrade to 1.0.0.  (If that's desired, please file a separate bug).
