I'd like to see the hard dependency of zope.dublincore on zope.annotation gone. This would lift the indirect dependency on the ZODB.
zope.dublincore uses zope.annotation in three places: - For defining the IZopeDublinCoreAnnotatable marker interface which isn't used in any of the packages mentioned in ztk.cfg, which basically amounts to all of Zope. I suggest simply deleting this interface. - For implementing and registering the ZDCAnnotatableAdapter which only makes sense if zope.annotation is installed in the first place. I suggest making the registration of this adapter conditional on whether zope.annotation is installed, which removed the hard dependency. - For tests, which would require zope.annotation to remain a testing dependency of zope.dublincore. If there are no objections, I'd like to make these changes and release zope.dublincore in the course of this week or the next. -- Thomas _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
