 I just realized that this text could easily be misread to imply that we 
 are working on making Zope 2 applications work in Zope 3 (we're just not 
 there yet). That is not the case - we do not expect ever to have a 
 version of Zope 3 that can run Zope 2 code.
 
 I'd suggest a rewrite to say:
 
 Compatibility with Zope 2

 Zope 3 is not upwards compatible with Zope 2. This means you cannot run 
 Zope 2 applications in Zope 3.
 
 We continue to work on the transition from Zope 2 to Zope 3 by making 
 Zope 2 use more and more of the Zope 3 infrastructure. This means that 
 new code written in Zope 2 can benefit from Zope 3 technology. Also, 
 with care, code can be written that works in both Zope 3 and Zope 2. 
 This allows a Zope 2 application to slowly evolve towards Zope 3. 
 Unchanged Zope 2 applications are never expected to work in Zope 3, however.

Thanks. I'll change the template to include this.

+1 to changing, and to what you wrote specifically

[Zope3-dev] Re: Zope 3.4.0a1 released

2007-04-19 Thread Philipp von Weitershausen

Does it make sense to tag and release 3.4.0a1 eggs now? I would say so.

I think we should

* tag each individual project
* update the svn:external on each project to point to the 3.4.0a1 tag of
  the Zope3 tree
* update each project's setup.py
* create an egg
* upload an egg

Martin Aspeli provided a script based upon which we can probably 
automate a lot of those steps. I'm willing to look into this, if the 
consensus is to ahead with this. Note that according to setuptool's 
version semantics, '3.4.0a1' is a more recent version than '3.4dev':


   from pkg_resources import parse_version as v
   v('3.4.0a1')  v('3.4dev')
  True

That means easy_install will consider the alpha eggs more recent than 
any dev egg, which seems logical.


Oh, and I'll need upload rights to download.zope.org :).
