WinBuilders recently had a number of changes checked in to support later pywin32 versions and numerous fixes. At around the same time WinBuilders was copied into the Zope 2.7 and 2.8 trees - but without these improvements. This is the underlying reason behind the 2.8 binaries for Windows not being correct.
I've created a patch that reinstates the lost changes in both the Zope 2.7 and 2.8 trees and attached it to http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1782 As mentioned in that collector issue: * inst/WinBuilders has been added to Zope 2.8 without the svn:eol-style=native setting. This property must be set on that entire tree before attempting to apply the patch. Apart from that, the patch applies to both 2.7 and 2.8 * The old WinBuilders (at Packages/WinBuilders) should be removed from CVS to avoid future confusion. The Zope 2.8 binary appears to install and start fine, but all I tested was that the ZMI would open. Another change I snuck in was to add 'SolidCompression=yes' to the Inno file - this reduces the final .exe by about 40% Unfortunately I still haven't heard anything re my contributor agreement, so am unable to make these changes myself. I will ask Sidnei very nicely tomorrow, but if anyone else is able to assist, please just go for it :) Mark _______________________________________________ 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 )
