Remove function-based generic views - WIP

[Claude Paroz]

I think for code and tests, the patch is in good shape (tests pass with SQLite). However there are still mentions of generic views in the documentation. It's not always trivial to update. I will not have time to work on this for the next day at least, so feel free to take the burden :-)

Patch including docs

I think I have now removed all references to function-based reference views.

Updated to current trunk

My short review of this:

• Tests passed on SQLite.
• I could not find any code references or doc references to the function based generic views.
• The docs can be built.

One warning when building the docs: /home/akaariai/Programming/django/docs/releases/1.3-alpha-1.txt:41: WARNING: Mismatch: both interpreted text role prefix and reference suffix.

A question: there are a lot of .po files referencing the create_update.py - I guess these will be cleared later on?

Apart of the docs warning the patch looks good to me.

[Claude Paroz]

Thanks a lot for the review. I will fix the warning before the commit.

Replying to akaariai:

Yes, when the pot files will be rebuilt, this will automatically disappear.
