The package has obviously been poorly maintained. Are you a contributor
yet, Jeff? :)
A good question considering what I'm wrestling with at the moment. I would
very much like to get involved. At PyCon I filled out the contributor form,
got write access and got too busy to use it (plus it was during the quiet time
before the 3.3.0 release). Now my ssh key isn't working, so I need to see
someone about resetting it. But with the Zope Foundation situation, I may
very well need to sign a new contributor form to do that, but I'm not sure.
I also would like to create a new project on svn.zope.org, to contain the
various Zope3 components I'm creating for the Python advocacy effort. However
I'm not sure whether I can just create another "z3c.advocacy" namespace or
"myname.advocacy". Is there a requirement that everything on svn.zope.org be
licensed under the ZPL? The PSF would like what I produce to be under either
the Apache or Artistic license. If the license is a problem I can use
svn.python.org instead I suppose, but the components are of a general nature
and I'd like to contribute them to the Zope community.
Poking around svn.zope.org, I've got a question regarding how you avoid
overwrite conflicts on the file "z3c/__init__.py" file. I see different
projects using different such files, some with code in them (extfile). If
several z3c components are installed in a site, it seems that file is a
hotspot of contention.
Any suggestions? With the popularity of psycopg + Zope3, any chance
we could get psycopgda added into the Zope3 distribution to mitigate
this chasing?
I don't think that can happen. We're thinking about making the core
smaller, not bigger :). Also, not everyone has or needs psycopg, so the
testing would become a burden.
Understandable. By the way, revision 40054 is the one that works with Zope
3.2.1 and I'd like to put a meaningful tag on that when I get access. I've
also got a simple patch to psycopgda that lets it use psycopg2 and fallback to
psycopg1 if not found. It's been working great here for almost a year, with
psycopg2.
