Re: [Zope] Zope-2.8.1, LocalFS, and the importance of _p_jar
John Ziniti wrote: The problem I have with my "solution" is that I have no clue what _p_jar is. It's all to do with ZODB persistence. I'm not sure why the wrapper was ever given a _p_jar, it's probably not a good idea, but then LocalFS is very old but was very good at the time, so there's likely to be a good reason for it to be there :-S I dunno, try contact Jonathan Farr, the product's author and see if he can remember. Other than that, maybe ask on zodb-dev@zope.org about any problems you may experience from removing it :-S My wories aren't so much about persistence, but whether these wrappers will play nicely with the transation framework without a _p_jar. They should, but I wouldn't want to bet on it... good luck!

Re: [Zope] DateTime mess
Hi Jürgen, Many thanks for even thinking about looking at the DateTime debacle ;) Jürgen Herrmann wrote: Well, that would be cool. Just a question: How do you plan to keep and verify backwards compatibility? Any database, with any type of DateTime object, must work transparently. 100% compatibility isn't desireable, because its broken atm ;P Well yes, but you don't want to force people to change in an unpleasant way. From what I can see, DateTime _should_ just be a lightweight wrapper around Python's datetime.datetime to add the extra formatting commands, helper methods and zodb persistence. However, it isn't, and I don't think changing it to be so is the way to go. What I _would_ like to see is a new package that works with both Zope 3 and Zope 2 and offers exactly this. We could advocate switching to this, with DateTime becoming deprecated and removed in, say, Zope 2.10. I wonder if Zope 3 has something that meets these needs already?

Not sure that I follow you: In my view, "all_meta_types" can be used to enforce "containment constraints". "CopySupport" handles this it a perfect fashion. After this "containment constraints" check, it checks that the copying/moving/renaming user has the right to add the object in the destination folder (it fact, it checks that the creating action can be traversed to, which is a bit different and fails when the action contains a query string). Modern versions take proxy roles into account. The problem is that trusted code lacks a means to set proxy roles -- thus, it cannot do what untrusted code with appropriate proxy roles can. -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
