Build Failing for 6 months #146

Closed samuelcolvin closed 9 years ago

samuelcolvin commented 9 years ago

I'm a big fan of django-jinja but I'm concerned to see that build has been failing for 6 months and there hasn't been any development.

Is the project still be developed/maintained? Will it work with dj 1.9?

I'm just about to start a new django package and was intending to use django-jinja but I don't want to rely on a package which will fade away imminently.

Hi @samuelcolvin The package is alive and used in production on my own projects and projects of my company. This not will be changed.

Lamentable the last months I was so busy in other stuff and I don't have much time for "minor issues", the package as is works properly and does not need much maintenance. About failing tests you are right, this is a very minor issue and simply forgot about it.

If you found an important bug it will be addressed much quickly... And if you have improvements, any help is very welcome.

Great, good to hear.

We're using django-jinja in production ourselves at my company too, I just wanted to check going forward

As I answered in other issue, I have plans to drop support for older versions in future versions of django jinja. Because the current version tries to backpass all the peculiarity of django <= 1.6, django == 1.7 and django >= 1.8 and the code becomes ugly and unmaintenable...

That do you think about?

samuelcolvin commented 9 years ago

Personally we moved to 1.8 more or less as soon as it was released.

The only over version of django currently supported is 1.7 which expires in december.

If people are still running on older versions of django they can stick with django-jinja 1.4.1 which is tried and tested and is unlikely to suddenly exhibit a serious flaw.

I say drop support for everything < 1.8.
