1.2 Released

[vim]

If not version control then why not? And if not then how else to solve the problem? Are you talking having package assets have a UUID like TextMate/e/Intype has? Ability to disable bundles etc?

one of the only features i loved on e when i checked it out was the bundle system. i liked that i can choose what to actually have on my PC, i liked the ability to check for updates, and choose to update bundles, and i liked how it was integrated int the editor. i must say, i didn't used e much time so i don't know the flaws this solution might have.

I'm not really following you here Artee. You think it's too hard for a non programmer?

Do you think that "svn update http://sublime.... is a natural way to determine what was changed in plugins/configuration since last time?
Most software I've ever seen use simpler pattern: revision and release notes.

__author__ and __version__ I can do if it will make you happy (though version control has that inbuilt ) but I don't particularly like massive docstrings. __author__ and __version__ won't solve any problems in and of themselves though.

Yes I agree with you but since Sublime use Python, some features can be done using pythonic way
According to docstrings - it was only a proposal due to the fact that a lot of plugins will be provided as a single file.

You want a package index like PyPi?

Yes and no
Compare the following screens:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pylons/0.9.7 or
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/fullcalendar
to
http://www.sublimetextwiki.com/pages/SearchInFiles.html
The first contains a lot of usefull information about plugin - the second is completely useless (I apologize for a choice ).

PyPi is built upon a lot of setuptools/distutils infrastructure that simply isn't applicable unfortunately.

PyPi was an idea how it can be accomplished.
I think that we need simpler system because community is respectively smaller.

Who is going to do that job?

It depends on who have access to edit such information
I think that simple wiki page or phpBB forum is too static to do that (and doesn't have an integration with SVN or Git).
Maybe CMS like Plone or other simple solution? Hosting is cheap, e.g. Webfaction account - 10$ per year
If it will be based on the Python I'm ready to help.

I know, that above information maybe is related to systems with big community and lot of plugins but AFAIK Sublime claims to be a piece of software entirely based on plugins so IMHO should provide proper platform for this.

AFAIK Sublime claims to be a piece of software entirely based on plugins so IMHO should provide proper platform for this.

Sublime doesn't actually claim this at all. The only claim I can see on the site is that Sublime has a Python API.

The plugin situation we have right now is fairly simple, ad-hoc, and almost entirely separated from the product itself.

* A handful of developers happen to share some stuff using Subversion.
* I've written a build script that converts the Subversion trunk into sublime-package files.

And that's it. There's no official involvement at all, no official plugin site. No official anything. Just me setting up a free google code repo and a build script, and other people committing code.

Now, something like pypi or firefox's addin site or rubygems would be great, but we're nowhere near that situation.

But we really are wide open to develop things however we like.

[vim]

it seems these are the options people said here to handle the community enhancements:

1. web based - on a server, firefox add-in like
2. internal - handled by sublime itself, textmate/e like
3. up to the user - what we have right now

it might be good to discuss pros/cons, and to jon to give his opinion, and decide what he wants to do with this discussion.

[SteveCooperOrg]

Nothing like a full solution, but maybe a piece to build on; the package downloader plugin now lets you download your choice of packages from the repo, direct from inside sublime.

Thx for the release.
I definitely love the confort brought by coding with sublime. To such a point I was thinking about switching from Flash Develop for my actionscript projects.

So, I have a question ; does sublime support textmate bundles (blog pages talks about textmate 'snippets'...), and in particular the one developped for actionscript3 (http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Review/Bu ... .tmbundle/) ?

Thx for any hints.

[jps]

In theory you can just download the ActionScript3.tmLanguage file from the link you posted, and place it in a package (i.e., select preferences/browse packages and make a new folder), but that particular file has a quirk (an empty rule definition containing nothing but a todo comment), that Sublime Text isn't happy with, so it will refuse to load it. I'll change that for the next beta.

Thx for your answer
