Andreas, Thank you for the 10,000 ft. view of all those documents. That summary is much appreciated. While some may think this is off-topic I hope they bear with me here because I think it is very much on topic discussion of using existing building blocks to create open source applications. The specific issue with TORCH still remains that we disagree because I say it is not a technical issue because there is no interaction (therefore no conflict) between the Zope packages I put together and any others on a Debian system. I just happen to be using open source building blocks that are of different version numbers. While your viewpoint seems to be that it is difficult to maintain the Zope, Plone, other Products that I use as a separate package. I say this is what gives me the control and stability that I need to be confident in my foundation. I don't have to wait for a new version to be added to the Debian distribution nor do I worry that a new version of a product will be added that causes a conflict with my application. I don't view TORCH2 as a plug-in Zope Product. TORCH2 is a compilation of all that code together. Cheers, Tim
