[reportlab-users] 2.2 release updates

[Andy Robinson]

Hi everybody,

First of all, I am wondering if anyone has tried out the setup script
from subversion and/or had any issues?
--

Regrettably the package rearrangement had a substantial impact on our
own packaging scripts for our commercial distro-builders and for the
many corporate solutions we build and maintain, and getting those
things changed over has eaten up all our spare time this week.    So,
we don't have time to screen and accept any more major changes this
week.

In particular
 (a) Henning's paragraphs and hyphenation will have to wait, and we
might look at ways to make this an optional plug-in
 (b) the optional egg-style setup script Dirk contributed still
doesn't build the C extensions.
 (c) there will be a terse changelist out of subversion, but not much
high-level documentation.

We are however trying to replace the last remaining "politically
incorrect font" today.

Once 2.2 is out, we'll be putting up a new wiki to help gather docs
and snippets; and no doubt we will learn some things about setup
scripts.  We can then produce a followup release reasonably quickly
whenever we need to.

Thanks for you understanding
