My personal opionion: the Zope developers don't care much about release dates (that the "it's done when it is done" attitiude - good or bad...). Therefore we can not and won't care much about the release dates and requirements of each single distribution. The other question: are Plone packages included with some Linux distribution important for attracting people to Plone. My opionion: no. It's nice having OFTB support for Plone and Zope on the distros but the Zope and Plone packages raised more problems for serious Zope/Plone users in the past than they actually solved. Serious installations usually install their own Python, Zope & Plone from the sources or using zc.buildout nowadays (this approach is supported by the Zope and Plone developers).

The problem is not Zope by itself but Plone, which still needs Zope 2.10, which in turn requires python 2.4. It seems that a new major release of Plone will happen at the end of the year, which is already too late for Ubuntu Karmic (next stable release). -- Fabio Tranchitella http://www.kobold.it Free Software Developer and Consultant http://www.tranchitella.it _ 1024D/7F961564, fpr 5465 6E69 E559 6466 BF3D 9F01 2BF8 EE2B 7F96 1564 ___ 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 )

So then, how soon would 2.12 need to be released for you to not drop debian support for Zope 2 and Plone?
