Now that Drupal 6 is in code freeze, it's time to start considering OpenPackage's role in Drupal 6. How would the new API benefit OpenPackage? What would be required in the port? How will OpenPackage's release system work once there are two different versions and will development continue in both version?

+1 ... nice to see this being picked up. I may be able to help in Feb if it isn't done yet. Looking for a solution now and this looks like a good one. =)

I'm not using the bounty system any more.

5.x-4.x (Storage API / amazon S3 support) and 6.x-4.x will be released in the next couple of weeks.

Whoa, OpenPackage is rocking hardcore! Way to go, Jon. Aaron Winborn demoed it very nicely on http://drutube.com/ at DIWD.

Doh! I just recommended this to an Acquia customer and THEN realized D6 isn't ready. jbrown - please make sure you are scaling well enough and can be there when success comes knocking ;-) Your solution in this space is a potential ass kicking game changer, but you're missing out on the 105,000+ Drupal 6 sites. (let me know if you're convinced and I'll shut up and wait patiently ....)

Thanks Rob!

5.x-4.x is pretty much ready for public consumption. I'm going to do a direct port to D6 this weekend, release everything and then generally start blogging / documenting as much as I can. There are so many cool new features.

Don't worry - I'm totally committed to making this module be the greatest video publishing system on the web! I have so many ideas I want to implement.

I've got it work pretty well. The CCK field is rock solid. Views integration is next.

any chance of a cvs commit please?

Okay - its commit and I created a 6.x-4.x-dev release.

Current status:

CCK field is rock solid (I think)
upload module conflict
views integration is broken
integration with following modules untested: actions, token, node_import, services, feedapi_mapper

depends on storage_api and mimedetect. You'll need to work out how to use storage_api as its not documented at all yet.

For Drupal 6 OpenPackage Video has been renamed to Blue Droplet Video as everybody universally hated the name.

It is ready for testing and I intend to tag it 6.x-1.0 very soon.

Please move any issues across to Blue Droplet Video as necessary.

I am devoting the next few days to documenting it as much as possible.

Thanks for your support!

Thanks for informing about the renaming. I tested an upgrade from op_video 5.x to bd_video 6.x but apparently there is no upgrade path yet. For example, I now have my video db tables 'op_video_*' and the new empty 'bd_video_*' tables.
