Sorry if is OT. I'd like ZODB and Zope to support Revisions. That is, historical copies that do not get removed when ZODB is packed.
Does the Version mechanism contribute to this kind of functionality? I'd like to be able to "tag" revisions of wiki pages and other documents, and then be able to diff them later without having to create a special kind of product for each object type that I'd like to use revisions for. Maybe this is kind of the reverse way of doing what versions are for. We have used versions a little to work on a "live site". What would be interesting is using revisions (with tags), then telling Zope to serve only objects with this revision or "older", or the current object if no revisions are on file for that object. And .. the serving up of a particular tag would be set on a Zserver instance. So, I could continue to use ZMI as normal, but run "another zserver" on a different port (the one that feeds the world) with a particular revision. Or I could do this with ZEO. Probably there's too much overhead in this idea. -- Brad Clements, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (315)268-1000 http://www.murkworks.com (315)268-9812 Fax http://www.wecanstopspam.org/ AOL-IM: BKClements _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 )
