This release breaks basically everything from 0.10 (new config system - all previous configurations can me moved to /dev/null..., different modules, breaks e.g. python-polybori and spyder) That's why I didn't push this to a released Fedora version because it's against the Updates Criteria, we have there, and I highly guess EPEL has more strict ones... Where you aware of these changes? Are there good reasons to update anyway? ;)
(In reply to comment #1) > Where you aware of these changes? > > Are there good reasons to update anyway? ;) No, I have no clue about ipython at all and even less about its packaging. I was just irked by completely broken dealing with Unicode strings in ipython, which I found was fixed in 0.11. Yes, I should spend time browsing through commits before 0.11 to find how it has been fixed, but just rebuild fixed this for me. So, I agree, rebasing is probably a bad idea (especially for EPEL). OTOH, fixing Unicode dealing would be awesome, but I have no clue how to do it. See this part of the session with Django shell (which is ipython under the cover): In [1]: from coelodonta.models import * In [4]: cat = Category(name=u"řeřicha") In [5]: cat Out[5]: <Category: category: ÅeÅicha>
BTW, the same story with --plain shell (i.e., using /usr/bin/python instead of ipython for interactive shell) mitmanek:openshift (next) $ python manage.py shell --plain Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 12 2011, 14:03:14) [GCC 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat 4.4.5-6)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. (InteractiveConsole) >>> from coelodonta.models import * >>> cat = Category(name=u"řeřicha") >>> cat <Category: category: řeřicha> >>>
Given that 0.11 is a complete overhaul of ipython, I don't backporting patches is a valuable use of time. As indicated in previous comments, the goal is to have working Unicode support. Since ipython is primarily interactive, I think the risk of rebasing is ok. I'll prepare a test candidate and let people try it out. I'm not going to rebase to the latest stable release, but rather just the latest 0.x release to keep it somewhat close to the 0.10 series. Please try out the test candidate to see if it fixes up Unicode support for you.
