Okay, Tres, can you give me a line number I can poke at to remove this? It seems like Jim doesn't care too much, and I see 3 people at least who don't like it. Zope 2.9 broke the 'confiugre-make' dance in several ways, due (I think) to the choice to bolt on^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hretrofit zpkg. Sort of. It didn't break configure make. It's just make install that was broken. I think Tres was assuming that was an integral part of it ;-) I still don't understand why people whine about make install being gone. The point of a checkout is that you have a full functional SVN working copy, not an installation source. If you want to install things, use a TGZ archive which lets you do make install perfectly fine. I've never installed Zope anywhere except on production servers anyway, and there you should obviously use releases. Tres and Jens have already made the comments I was going to, but just to note that I strongly agree with them... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I don't think obviously necessarily applies there. There are good reasons for wanting to install from a checkout. If you absolutely must use make install from a checkout (perhaps because you want to install the trunk somewhere), then you can make a TGZ first using zpkg. That's a possible work-around, but doesn't seem like a good reason to leave make install broken. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Yup, this is one of the things I like least from the Zope 3 world.
What happened to proposals and community agreement before inflicting
big changes on other people who're trying to help out?
Oh cut the crap.
Hmm, I'm confused by this. If there's a proposal, my bad, point me at
it. If there isn't, well, it's kinda odd to receive abuse for pointing
out that you aren't sticking to your own processes...
The new test runner tries very hard to be backward
compatible.
...but misses one of the most common use cases from the old one, and you
didn't seem particularly fussed about fixing this :-S
This breakage was not intentional. It was a bug. There is an
easy work around: just use the -m option.
It can't be that hard to put in some syntactic sugar to support this. I
was going to give it a shot myself but I ran out of time, and I worry
about things like the regex matching the old testrunner used to dowhen
using the missing option.
I particularly hate the fact that no real effort was put into
backwards compatibility, not to mention those silly weird
sort-of-fifty-dots-per-line thing that doesn't actually work.
What the heck are you talking about? What doesn't work?

It looks bizarre having that carriage return in the middle of the row of

seeing?

My other big bug bear is what I've read about make-make-install no longer working in 2.9. Why on earth was this just broken without any thought to the vast number of people who rely on this as a simple way to quickly get a new release onto a number of boxes? I've been very happy to see the majority of the stuff in Zope 3, but it seems some things like this are getting rushed through without a lot of thought and consideration, which seems very un-zope-3 to me :-( Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Oh cut the crap. The new test runner tries very hard to be backward compatible. The old test runner was increasingly unmaintaiable and had a host of bugs of it's own.
