ugettext_lazy breaks with Django 4.0 alpha 1 release

[awtimmering]

Can a release be made including #342 (replace ugettext_lazy with gettext_lazy)?

The newly released Django 4.0 alpha 1 has dropped ugettext_lazy.
The latest release of django-dbbackup still uses ugettext_lazy. This was addressed in #342 however not yet released, meaning of dbbackup run into errors and can not try their applications on Django 4.0 alpha 1 until this is done.

Related to #381

Should also include wheels in the next release: #382

If @jonathan-s is no longer maintaining this project, there may need to be a new community fork. There have been no commits for a year.

May be @jonathan-s can give us is idea about that ?

I'm interesting by going forward on this subject

[johnthagen]

@pulse-mind Probably what needs to happen is someone volunteers to fork, merges in the necessary 4.0 compatibility patches, and publishes under an available name on PyPI such as django-dbbackup2. We can then advertise the fork on the issues in this repo to make it more discoverable. To be a "friendly" fork, we offer to merge changes back to django-dbbackup if maintainers re-appear or are willing to add new maintainers.

[pulse-mind]

@johnthagen why using a fork, it would be better to have the rights on the repo to do the job?!?
Then it would be possible to accept push requests, release versions...
I do not know how to publish on PyPi, if it is automatic when we create a version...?

[johnthagen]

why using a fork, it would be better to have the rights on the repo to do the job?!?

Ideally yes, but if the maintainers are not responsive, there is no one to grant anyone new permissions to this repo.

Agree with you.
We can let one week to @jonathan-s to answer ?

May be some others users like @ZuluPro may know something ?

Is it possible to know the list of the members who have this kind of permissions ?

[ZuluPro]

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry for my absence and my late reply.

I absolutely don't have the time to maintain DBBackup but it would be a pleasure to pass the ownership to someone with more time and knowledge.

Who's volunteer to maintain DBBackup ?

[johnthagen]

I have enough time to do very basic maintenance (keep dbbackup working on latest Django / remove deprecation warnings / etc.) I'm currently doing the same for django-solo.

If you also want to grant ability to upload to PyPI my username there is: https://pypi.org/user/johnthagen/

[pulse-mind]

Thank you @johnthagen and @ZuluPro !! If you need help, let me know!

[Archmonger]

Hey @ZuluPro

I'm coming over from the Jazzband GitHub organization. We're currently the biggest organization for OSS Django packages.

I would be interested in taking temporary ownership for this repo and doing the necessary changes to get it transferred to Jazzband.

Including myself, there are various members that I'm sure would support maintenance for this repo.

[ZuluPro]

Hi @Archmonger
Yes Jazzband iis a good idea, I think a bit of maitenance and cleaning should be good before submit Dbbackup.

Hi @johnthagen
Thank you for you time and attention,
I give you the rights for the Github Organization and the the Pypi repo.

But like @Archmonger suggested, it could be a good thing to transfer it to Jazzband

[johnthagen]

I also agree Jazzband would be a very good long term plan.

Thanks @ZuluPro!

[Archmonger]

I also agree Jazzband would be a very good long term plan.

Thanks @ZuluPro!

Let me know if you need any support on this!

[ZuluPro]

Hi @Archmonger
Can you contact me on my mail box anthony.monthe[a]gmail.com ??
So I can give you grants on Pypi

[johnthagen]

I'm currently working on cleaning things up for a release.

Let me know if you need any support on this!

I think another issue with a checklist of what needs to be done to get this repo ready for submission to JazzBand, would be very helpful.

[johnthagen]

@ZuluPro I'm pulling together a 4.0.0b0 release that I'd like to push to PyPI for people to test out. I can't seem to upload and when I look at my projects on PyPI, I don't see django-dbbackup. I also don't see myself listed as a maintainer at https://pypi.org/project/django-dbbackup/.

Would you mind double checking if I was invited to the PyPI project? I'm also not sure where I would "see" invites. I've looked through all of the pages on my PyPI account and don't see anything about django-dbbackup.

My profile: https://pypi.org/user/johnthagen/

[banagale]

Bump. @ZuluPro Would you please look in on this? Django 4.0 is released.

[Archmonger]

I have the ability to create releases and will do so once @johnthagen tags a solid build

[banagale]

I see, @johnthagen Do you see that @Archmonger is prepared to publish a release?

@Archmonger Can you clarify whether you consider a beta release, like the one @johnthagen mentioned above (4.0.0b0) as suitable for publishing on pypi? Or when you say "solid build" do you mean a tag of something that is ready for release?

[Archmonger]

I just confirmed that john had not been invited to PyPI, so I've sent him an invite.

I am currently not a maintainer on the GitHub repo though so I'll need @johnthagen to add me as one if I am to tag releases in the future.

[banagale]

@Archmonger Thank you for looking at that. I appreciate any further cooperation needed to get a Django 4.0-compatible release out the door.

[Archmonger]

As a temporary workaround, you can install pip install via git git+https://github.com/django-dbbackup/django-dbbackup.git

ex pip install git+https://github.com/django-dbbackup/django-dbbackup.git

[johnthagen]

4.0.0b0 has been released: https://pypi.org/project/django-dbbackup/4.0.0b0/ 🎉

Thanks!

@Archmonger You have been invited as an owner to the django-dbackup organization

I have the ability to create releases and will do so once @johnthagen tags a solid build

4.0.0b0 has been tagged in GitHub, but as a pre-release it doesn't show up in the main page UI, so it might not have been obvious it had been tagged before: https://github.com/django-dbbackup/django-dbbackup/releases/tag/4.0.0b0

[phroiland]

I know this issue is closed, but any word on getting an official release?

Appreciate the beta version.

[johnthagen]

Please follow #415. Unfortunately we are still waiting for the original maintainers to give access to the ReadTheDocs site.
