Re: [Zope-dev] ZTK futures: one big package?
The implementation details are over my head, but what SchoolTool needs is a middle ground between one big package and a giant pile of little ones, because our primary deployment strategy is via Linux distribution packaging, in Debian/Ubuntu in particular. Currently, Fabio maintains an official monolithic package for Debian, and we generate a giant pile of .debs from eggs and keep them in a PPA. Because there is administrative overhead with every package, even if we can eventually come to consensus on the desirability or pushing 70 tiny packages into the Debian pipeline, it may never be practical. So a single, community-recognized ZTF that would be the foundation of manageable packaging for Linux distros would be a huge win for us. --Tom ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Kind of a weird time for a name change Or if not, it would seem like there would be a better argument for the new approach having a new name than the old one. --Tom ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

There are forward looking statements in there: tarballs... for the last 3.4 series and probably for 3.5 as well. I take this to mean that there's an intention to have a 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 release, etc, but past 3.5, the release won't be packaged as a tarball. If this is the case, even if it's just for 3.5, it would sure help reduce confusion to give this release of packages (even if it's just a buildout and the KGS for that release) a name other than Zope. Or if not, it would seem like there would be a better argument for the new approach having a new name than the old one. I'm not sure which is the new approach and which is the old one? Well, given that this is a very, very late, long planned release always called Zope 3.4, I'd like to see it come out ASAP without further delay for semantic and philosophical argument. Then we can figure out what to call the next one. --Tom ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] Zope 3.4 final?
Hi All, This is a manually-generated reminder that it would be very, very helpful to the SchoolTool project if there would be a Zope 3.4 final release in the next month. 3.4.0b2 is designated as stable on zope.org, and while it may only be a semantic distinction to remove the b2, it will allow us to move zope3 packages into Debian and Ubuntu, and in turn move a whole stack of other Zope3 related packages, and SchoolTool, into those distributions.
