[TxMt] Re: GetBundles

[Hans-Jörg Bibiko]

Hi,

I've just committed an improved version of GetBundles to display  
information of bundles hosted on github. It's much more faster and now  
all information for bundle names containing a '.' are retrieved.

Back to the original problem, why my bundle won't be listed in  
GetBundles.

Well, I've just played with github search API again. It turns out that  
a search query for eg 'tmbundle' does not returns all projects, esp.  
if a project is forked. But if I do search for repositories of a  
specific owner then I get them all.

Fine, how to deal with it?

I've just implemented an interim solution. In addition the  
textmate.org bundle server script looks for a list of predefined user  
accounts on github.com. So far I added to the predefined user list  
'adamv' and 'fletcher'. If you now open GetBundles you'll find the  
missing bundles (hopefully all of them). In other words if someone  
hosts a tmbundle which does not come up with GetBundles should inform  
me (or Allan - but I guess he's busy) to add her/him to that list. I  
know this is not a clean solution ( - that's why I write 'interim' - )  
but it works for now.

My dream for github's search API would be to have the chance to write  
a query à la:

give me all (not page by page) repositories whose project names end on  
'tmbundle' or '.bundle' regardless if the repository is forked or not.

I'll continue my search for a better solution. If someone of you all  
comes up with a better approach I'd be appreciated if you let it me  
know :)

Cheers,
