Totally agreed, I was kinda shocked at how many deprecation errors Zope 
2.9 ships with :-(

I think this is not fair. Jim has tried very, very hard to convert all the 
functionality in a backward-compatible way.

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)

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

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. Though I still don't see the point of it.


This is just like Stefan Richter's continuing arguments against  
things he just doesn't use, thus they must be useless. It doesn't  
wash.


The configure/make/make install dance was the canonical and quick way  
to install from a checkout _or_ a tarball for years. This should not  
break, period, whether you're talking about a tarball or a checkout.  
How can you even do development work when you never install Zope  
except for on a production server, I don't get it.


What the point of a checkout is should be left up to the individual  
user, by the way. With Zope before 2.9 I get both worlds: It is a  
pristine SVN working copy, and with the ability to run configure/make/ 
make install in a *separate* directory without leaving any artifacts  
in the source tree, it acted as a perfect installation source at the  
same time. Unfortunately that use case, installing from the source  
tree into a different place, was broken in 2.9 as well and I sorely  
miss it. Now I have to copy the whole source tree to the other place  
before running configure/make and then futz around to get the  
equivalenet of the broken make install. Extremely annoying.

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?


Here's a literal screen dump:

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

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 :-(

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.  E.g.:

 $ cd /tmp
 $ svn co svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/Zope/trunk zt
 $ cd zt
 $ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/zt-sw  make  make install
 ...
 running install_scripts
 error: cannot copy tree 'build/scripts-2.4': not a directory
 make: *** [install] Error 1
 $ make clobber inplace
 ...
 $ ls -laF bin
 ls: bin: No such file or directory

(The 'bin' directory was, in Zope 2.7, 2.8, the location for the
scripts, created during an inplace build).
