Hi Jacob,
Here are comments and suggestions:
1. I've been trying to edit metadata on ahocorasick.plt, but changes to
the "Home page" field doesn't appear to stick. I tried setting the value
to:
http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/plt/
The error message that occurs:
"""Oops! An internal error occured. The problem has been logged, but if
you have any further information to report, please email
planet at plt-scheme.org."""
is something I missed the first few times I tried this. It might be more
visible if it were in a color like red or green, to distinguish it from
regular text.
The bug isn't actually specific to the homepage field: just pressing
update on my ahocorasick package metadata update page raises an error.
2. The metadata page is missing categorization.
3. There only seems to be one major/minor version of each package
available: from the add-servlet.ss/metadata-updating page. What happens
if someone is maintaining several major versions of a PLaneT package?
>From the "Your packages" page:
http://coach.cs.uchicago.edu/servlets/planet/add-servlet.ss
there's no link to the other versions of each package, although I do see
it here:
http://coach.cs.uchicago.edu/servlets/planet/display-servlet.ss?owner=dyoo
Concretely, I have generator.plt, which has two major number releases.
Overall, this does feel like a good improvement over the previous PLaneT
system; anything to reduce your load is a good thing. *grin* I'll play
around with package submission a little later tonight.
Thanks again!
