Correct, the default Zope 3 installation does not come with this. > How do I make these new or updated packages available via my regular > Zope 3 instances? If you are not using egg-based development -- no worry, it is not officially documented and supported yet -- then simple SVN checkouts of the packages would be best: For example: svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/z3c.form/src/z3c/form Zope3/src/z3c/form or svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/z3c.form/src/z3c/form z3-instance/lib/z3c/form Alternatively, if you are using SVN for your development, you can create externals. > Is that a legit thing to do? Absolutely. > Is it just a matter of including the demo in PYTHONPATH? Yes. By putting it in the right place though, you do not have to worry about the Python Path at all. Of course, you will have to add the ZCML links as well. > How do you folks at the sharp end of zope development tie in the old with the new? We switch at some point. :-) All projects that I started before last month use the old method utilizing SVN externals. All new projects I do with the egg-based approach. > I realise that I don't understand the relationship between zc, z3c > and zope3? These are just namespaces. zope - All generic Zope 3 packages originally developed for Zope 3, the application. zc - Packages developed by Zope Corporation. z3c - Packages developed by Zope 3 community developers that share their work. > Am I correct to assume that zc & z3c are packages under > development that will eventually migrate to zope 3 ? No. They will always stay at this namespace. Once we switch to egg-based releases, Zope 3 will be more like a Linux distribution, where you choose the packages to be installed. > That zope 3.3.1 > (which I don't have) might have included most of the new zope > distributions I downloaded as well as some others of the z3c kind > renamed to zope?? Is that the way it works? No, z3c and zc packages are meant to be downloaded as third-party packages.
