[Zope-dev] Zope 2.8 on hold
Hi, in agreement with Jim Fulton and Brian Lloyd we decided to put the Zope 2.8 release on hold for now. There are several open issues related to running Zope on Windows (building, startup problems). Since we need to have a stable source code release and a stable windows release in sync, the next beta 2 will appear as soon as the major issues are fixed. This is maybe a good point for advanced Windows programmer to help out *wink* Andreas pgpAckJoeklPm.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 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 )

[Andreas Jung] At least the following are important (besides the problem with the Winbuilder) [Tim Peters] What WinBuilders problem? I keep hearing there's a problem there, but don't know what it is -- and I had no problem using WinBuilders for Zope 2.8. [Andreas] I know only that Christian had problems (according to his posting some days ago). I can not comment and can not value these issues. But there seems to be something. If you're talking about his posts to this list, those were all addressed some time ago, and all the problems in Zope 2.8's setup.py he was hitting have been repaired. If Christian still has problems, I haven't seen anything about them (neither on this list nor anywhere else). Note that these two aren't about Zope 2.8, they're about Zope 2.7.6: http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1763 http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1711 Both appear to be due to that Zope 2.7.6 on Windows shipped with a wrong (too old) version of pywin32, and continued to repackage pywin32 in the old (certifiably insane 0.7 wink) flat way.

Christian should know...as I said...I have no idea about how this windows stuff works and what it does...so I depend on the competence of you windows guys :-) It would help if Christian said something wink. I'm not sure the point of the above got across: the subject of this thread is Zope 2.8 on hold, but the two issues identified above are not Zope 2.8 issues. They're Zope 2.7.6 issues. Zope 2.8 shouldn't have any problem with those. Zope-2.7.6-final-win32.exe from zope.org has those problems; they're not holding up 2.8. ___ 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 )
