Hi!
Some things turned out a bit different than proposed, so I want to
report back:
1.) 'action' key:
-----------------
I'd like to give empty 'action' values a special meaning: The meta_type
is not visible in the add drop down in the ZMI.
The five:registerClass directive allows to set empty 'action' values.
This would resolve http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1885 .
Filtering out meta_types with empty 'action' values is a two line change
in main.dtml. I'd like to make that change also on the 2.8 branch to
enable that feature for 2.8.5 with Five 1.2.
I wasn't able to finish this because it depends on
http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1774 . See my comment in
http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1885 for details.
2.) 'interfaces' key:
---------------------
Does currently only contain oldstyle interfaces. The code in
OFS.ObjectManager that uses that key works also with z3 interfaces. I'd
like to add z3 interfaces to the value of that key. That would e.g.
allow to set only new style interfaces on catalog index classes.
Done.
3.) 'product' key:
------------------
AFAICS it isn't used in Zope itself. I'd like to add a note that it
might be removed in a future version.
That key is not required, but I found two places in Zope where it is
used if it exists: In ProductRegistry for TTW products and in
OFS.Application for refreshing products.
4.) related cleanup:
--------------------
Application.install_product has some backwards compatibility code for
products that have initialization code outside the 'initialize' method
of their __init__.py. This is deprecated at least for 5 years. I'd like
to add explicit deprecation warnings on the 2.8 branch and to remove
that code for Zope 2.9.
Done. Made sure ZGadflyDA and ZSQLMethods don't use the deprecated code.
Given the fact that 2 Zope core products still used that code and
given the feedback on this list I didn't remove the code in Zope 2.9.
This should be done in Zope 2.10 instead.
Cheers,
Yuppie
