Re: [Zope] A new development model for Zope?
Paolo Bizzarri wrote: Hi everybody, I was just wondering if Zope could not get a better development model. I will explain briefly. Currently, Zope seems to have a model for major releases, in which bugs are corrected and features (possibly large features) are added in each new release. This model, IMHO, performs poorly on the stability and bug fixing side. My proposal is that Zope should go through a stable/development version, in a similar way to the linux-kernel. New heavy features should be only for the development Zope, whereas the stable Zope should receive only the bugfixes and the (micro) new features. This should be of major importance, because I would like to have Zope to increase stability on normal versions, without any further feature that I do not need. What do you think about it ? I think we see this proposal about every three months on average. ;-) Personally, I would like to see a patch collector, for 'unofficial patches'. Kind of like the ac patches for linux (and now the aa and who knows who else is doing it now). ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

For example, here two simple patches that should be collected and posted toward 2.1.6: - patch for renaming single objects (something I have seen in the new 2.2.0a version); - patch for the REQUEST object problem What do you think about it ?
