The irony that python is so successfuly _because_ of it's batteries

I'm talking about a Zope 2 release including (most of) what's in a Zope

too (which can then be part of the next Zope 2 release as we integrate
the newer Five in it).

That would work for me. If it resolves the risk and is still pretty automated,
SVN checkout or even calling make, then it is fine by me. The others have
also pointed out the egg development mode.
Right, I didn't know of that,

A risk here is that if I find a bug in package X, I can't easily track
it into package Y and fix it there, as package Y is an egg. The current

There are two issues here:

I have seen you take a similar approach to zope.testing and I found that
painful just by watching the checkins.

I don't understand what you mean. Having a separate zope.testing project has
been extremely useful. For example, in our comercial apps,

What if we can create in SVN the equivalent of what would be an egg +

doesn't want to use externals, but I'm thinking in that direction.
You'd have one SVN directory for each egg,

Another use case, probably mostly in the context of Five, it's nice to

stops Five developers from exposing Zope 3

I've been very happy using zope.testing with several non zope

Of course, the releases didn't happen in December. In fact, the Zope 2

That we were late isn't a great surprise, given

These were some of my reactions to this first attempt at time-based releases.

I think early January is an understandable delay, considering that
midwinter celebrations came in the way. Great work everyone!

That's not a proof that the process is not automated enough. The
