[ANN] XMLWriter moved to GitHub

Hi,

the STHub -> PharoExtras project "XMLWriter"

1. was now moved from http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/XMLWriter to
   https://github.com/pharo-contributions/XML-XMLWriter including the FULL HISTORY

   The old STHub repo was marked as obsolete - but is linking to the new one

2. Travis CI job was setup (https://travis-ci.org/pharo-contributions/XML-XMLWriter) for P7 which is green

4. the new version is tagged in git as version 2.8.5

5. the Config was adopted with 2.8.5 and uploaded into MetaRepoForPharo70 so it works in catalog


You can load "XMLWriter" in Pharo 7 and 8 from Catalog or via load instructions

   Metacello new
        baseline: 'XMLWriter';
        repository: 'github://pharo-contributions/XML-XMLWriter/src';
        load.


More to come...

Bye

Bravo! Long time overdue!

Do you plan to also migrate XMLParserHTML and XPath?

Also, I have a question. Why the "XML" prefix? I find it redundant
since there is already XML in the name.

Hi Cyril,

I just step in - looks like people where too shy so far.

Yes - more is in the pipe already. You can follow activities on GH.

"pharo-contributions" is having also non-XML related repos. So this is a kind of
simplistic repo-grouping for all XML related repos.

For XMLWriter it is redundant - but I plan for

 XML-XMLWriter
 XML-XMLParser
 XML-XPath
 XML-Pastell
 XML-...

so when you filter contribution repos in github for "xml" you will easier find
or recognize it. Same in Iceberg when loaded.

Hope this makes sense to you as well ...

Bye
T.
