I am no longer subscribed to this thread, but I am coming back to it.
I can no longer build Microcosm :)
The Django and Python front-end, relied on a version of Python from 5 years ago, with 3rd party dependencies from 5 years ago, a framework from 5 years ago, all of which were available in operating systems 5 years ago.
For example, this site relies on Django 1.5.9, and Django is presently on version 2 (major version change... a lot of interfaces change and this is major work).
This site relies on python-dateutil 1.4 and date-util is currently 2.6.1 (another major version, breaking interface change).
On the VM build machine... which hasn't changed... microweb (the Web UI for Microcosm) now no longer builds as some of these old dependencies have been deleted from the web.
When I grab the build on my local laptop (Ubuntu 16.04) they don't build because the Python version has shifted too much.
I was going to try and fix the image upload bug... but I cannot spin up a build / test environment.
I had laid the foundation for moving the front-end to Go, and this is now what I'll be focusing on in the evenings for the foreseeable future.
No bug fixes or changes will be done from now until the Go version is finished. And I don't really have a deadline for that (I'm the only person working on it).
