[wxCode-users] Release of wxSMTP

[B. A. <bri...@am...>]

Dear all, 

I just released the new version of wxSMTP. It now includes support for
POP3 protocol. This is still a pre-release and shall still be tested on
various platforms, with different configurations.

Major modifications are :
- pop3 protocol support
- full support of mime format, thanks to the integration of the mimetic
project.
- partial encoding support for various charsets (shall be still completed
for support for sent mails)
- remodeling of the API for an integration of POP3 protocol.

It is provided with two samples : one for example of SMTP protocol usage,
and the second for POP3 usage.

I am still waiting for an approval of renaming of the project. I really
think that wxSMTP is now no more valid, as this project hanldes other mail
protocol. I think that wxEMail would be more appropriate.

I also have problems with SourceForge release mechanism. The one explained
in the Maintainer Guide of wxCode site is no more valid. When users click
on the 'dowload' button of the wxSMTP project page of the wxCode site, they
do not go to proper download page of sourceForge site.

Regards,
Brice André

Great.

I agree. wxEMail is fine with me. I would propose to name the folder in
the wxCode SVN just "email".

I'll check this issue as soon as possible.

Hello Ulrich,

First of all, thanks for your investment in your new role for the wx
community.

The proposed name in SVN is fine for me.

Regards,
Brice

Hello André,

Ok. I renamed your component's SVN repository from 'smtp' to 'email'.

Please update the template 'index.php' in your component's website
folder to reflect the name, location, purpose etc. of your component and
inform me if you're done, since I have to manually execute an update
script to reflect the changes on the wxCode website.

Unfortunately SourceForge doesn't allow cron jobs to perform such tasks
automatically. Even sending mail from website scripts is prohibited (at
least at the moment).

>>> I also have problems with SourceForge release mechanism. The one

I'm going to revise all wxCode guide pages, but that may take a while.
In the meantime please don't hesitate to ask if something doesn't work
as expected.

>>> When users click on the 'dowload' button of the wxSMTP project page

I changed the download links to point to the wxCode 'Components' release
package list.

Ulrich

Hello Ulrich,

Thanks for your fast answer. 

Sorry to bother you with all my questions, but as I am new with wxCode,
there are a lot of small things I still do not master.

I read your comment about website. In fact, I never wrote the website part
of the component. I did not understood the part concerning
the update of the wxCode site. When you say that you have to run a script
to update the website, does it mean that each time I want to
modify my component website page, you will have to re-run that script ?

The problem is that I do not know exactly how to fill this index.php file
(folder names, links, etc). Thus, if I have no way of testing 
it before you run your script, I will probably have to bother you several
times before having something that works correctly...

I will update all other stuff (library name in bakefile, upload of the doc
on site, update of the links in wiki, forum, etc) as soon as possible, but
it will probably take a few days as I am quite busy for the moment.

Thanks for your help,
Kind Regards,
Brice

Don't hesitate to ask. I'll try to answer as good as I can. (I have
still to learn some of the administrative details, too.)

Well, when the wxCode project started SourceForge allowed to run cron
jobs. The idea was, that each component maintainer maintains a webpage
for his component in a subfolder 'website' of his component in SVN. The
cron job copied the contents of those subfolders in SVN to the wxCode
website. This was quite convenient since one had to deal only with a
single location where to apply changes, namely SVN.

Now that SourceForge doesn't allow cron jobs any more the process has to
be done manually.

The alternative would be that each component maintainer administrates
his component's web pages within the wxCode website himself.

Accessing the wxCode website should be possible for each registered
maintainer via SFTP using host web.sourceforge.net and username
<sf-userid>,wxcode (replace <sf-userid> by the maintainer's SourceForge
user id) and his SourceForge password.

It would require some effort and discipline from each maintainer, but
would be certainly an option.

What do the other component maintainers think about this?

There are comments in the template and pointers to further documentation
(although not all of it might be up-to-date).

Example: Replace in the template

MYCOMPNAME => wxEMail
MYCOMPSUBDIR => email

and inspect the corresponding files in other components. This should
give you an impression what to do.

In case of further questions just post on this list or send a private mail.

Ulrich

Hello André,

one thing I forgot to mention: I renamed the file release package as
well. So please change the download links accordingly for example in
your wxForum announcement and wherever else you used the name wxSMTP.
It's now wxEMail.

Regards,

Ulrich
