groups with released dates, are overidded on the implementation

[pmiess]

if you have a template like this
<group arch="Windows-*">
<group version="{version}" released="{released}">
<implementation arch="Windows-x86_64" >
<manifest-digest/>
<archive href="https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/releases/wget-{version}-win64.zip" />
</implementation>
</group>
</group>

0template adds the current date as released date on the implementation
The implementation date overrides by the actual date.

This loops over all <implementation>s in the template (at any level in the document, unaware of their nesting):

0template/0template.py

Lines 78 to 79 in b5ec347

	for impl in doc.documentElement.getElementsByTagNameNS(namespaces.XMLNS_IFACE, 'implementation'):
	process_impl(impl)

And this sets the released date for each if missing:

0template/0template.py

Lines 70 to 73 in b5ec347

	def process_impl(elem):
	if not elem.getAttribute("released"):
	today = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d")
	elem.setAttribute("released", today)

@talex5 Is there some helper code in the Python version of Zero Install, pulled in by 0template as a dependency, that we could use to make this code snipped aware of the <group> inheritance mechanism?

[talex5]

Probably not. You could just walk up the parents checking for the attribute as you go.
