Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I'm using the Feeds 7.x-2.x branch (7e6679d) and the Features 7.x-2.x branch (8a3d404). At this time the Features dev version is equivalent to 7.x-2.0-rc1.
The issue I'm having is in regards to the feeds_news feature.
Features now separates fields into field_base and field_instance. There is more on this topic here: http://www.phase2technology.com/blog/new-field-bases-and-instances-in-fe... . I'm not exactly sure at this point what would be required, with the exception of a different branch, to check the features version and adjust the feature accordingly. I'm curious if this is something that is being considered at this point? If not, that's okay. I'm not using feeds_news just yet but may upload a patch for the feature as reference just to keep it from being overridden. If anyone has a better solution please let me know.
NOTE: Being this is a feature I would just patch it in my own code base but for those of us that have our code under version control (git) and we don't store contrib modules but rather use a make file...this is an issue without uploading a patch and adding that patch to the make file.
Thanks

MegaChriz CreditAttribution: MegaChriz commentedI think anyone that has experience with features can pick this up, so tagging this as a novice issue.

JeroenTI don't know if twistor is still working on this issue, but I Installed the feeds_news module, I recreated the feature and made a patch of the changes.
Patch attached.

MegaChriz CreditAttribution: MegaChriz commentedLooks good. I inspected the changes, especially the transition from field to field_base and field_instance and I saw no information got lost and no unnecessary extra metadata was added. The changes in the default View were harder to judge, but I think they are good since the old default View seems to been made against Views 3.0-alpha1. I also installed the Feeds News feature and walked through all the settings page and I saw nothing unsuspicious. Finally, the feature no longer appears overridden, which was the initial motivation of this issue.
RTBC to me.
