This is not enough. You are required to provide BBB *and* generation scripts for objects that are referenced in the ZODB. Once the BBB references are removed the database will not load anymore. > And yes, no generation scripts were written. Why?

At least for FileStorage, which most people use I assume, there is a way. Here is a good example of its use: http://source.schooltool.org/viewcvs/trunk/schooltool/src/schooltool/generations/evolve5.py?rev=5669&view=auto > b) no persistent class was moved for this reason.

This is not true. See http://svn.zope.org/Zope3/trunk/src/zope/dublincore/annotatableadapter.py?rev=67630&view=auto class ZDCAnnotationData(PersistentDict): """Data for a Dublin Core annotation. A specialized class is used to allow an alternate fssync serialization to be registered. See the zope.dublincore.fssync package. """ > As said, BBB packages were provided, but not included in the release. > This is a packaging problem. Right, this is fixable. I am not too concerned about that.
