Hi,

the last changes here are from October:
http://fgc.lsi.umich.edu/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/

Did I miss anything ?

Yours,

Steffen,
We are in the process of moving the blosxom changelog from U of M to the 
Hutch and it is due to competing efforts in other areas that it hasn't 
been completed yet. Now that the BioC 2.5 release is out we can spend 
some time getting the changelog online.

Hi Steffen,

No, that is the state of affairs right now. I was running the changelog 
on a server at UM that I don't have any control over and it was becoming 
untenable, so it will now be hosted in Seattle.

Unfortunately the change occurred close to the release (when things get 
crazy), so it has yet to be reconstituted.

Best,

Jim

Hi,

could you then please fix the bug that causes problems for packages
with periods in their name, e.g.

http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.5/bioc/html/aroma.light.html

Example:

http://fgc.lsi.umich.edu/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/aroma.light

gives

"Error: I'm afraid this is the first I've heard of a "light" flavoured
Blosxom. Try dropping the "/+light" bit from the end of the URL."

Workaround:

http://fgc.lsi.umich.edu/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/aroma

but picks up more than one package.

Thanks

/Henrik

You will be hard pressed to fix this 'bug', as in the Blosxom world this 
is a feature. You tell Blosxom which 'flavour' to use by passing a URI 
with the form

http://www.theserver.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/myfavorite.flavour

where 'flavour' indicates what templates to use for the webpage.

Since this is a basic feature of Blosxom you will not be able to get the 
maintainer to make any changes, nor would it be simple to make the 
necessary changes to the code ourselves.

Best,

Jim

A kind of workaround would be 
to mangle all package names upon changelog-creation:
e.g. blosxom.cgi/aroma.light -> blosxom.cgi/aroma_light

and to avoid confusion with people trying to access 
blosxom.cgi/aroma.light you add an apache rewrite-rule:

	RewriteRule aroma.light aroma_light [P] 

that rule would have to be added to e.g. the .htaccess
for each package with a "." in the name.

I don't know how the blog is created and what scripts are involved,
but you get the idea...

Yours,
Steffen
