I uploaded corrected versions of the Zope 2.9.7 and 2.10.3 tar-balls.
The tar-balls released yesterday contained a bug that caused

don't do this again.

Don't do what?  I was about to agree, as I don't think re-releasing
under the same version number was correct:  the new releases should be
2.9.7.1, 2.10.3.1, or something similary (or bump to 2.9.8, 2.10.4).

Creating a new release takes me about 45 minutes for each release..time I don't have this week before my vacation. So my decision should be acceptable
for the Zope world - perhaps not for the packagers...anyway things happen...


this bug is so obvious to catch that I have some serious doubts about
your software testing process.  are you releasing totally untested code?
  can we trust your releases in the future, will you change sth in your
process?

The testing that gets done is not done from "released" tarballs, but
from subversion checkouts.  This was a bug in the process that created
the tarball from a checkout, and not in the underlying Zope software
itself.  I *think* it also affected only those who build and install
Zope as root, although I can't tell for sure, since the tarballs have
been replaced.  At any rate, I *never* build, install, or run Zope as
root, and hence would never have noticed the problem, even if I were
doing the releases myself.

I usually test the tar-balls but only using "zopectl fg" which did not show
any errors for the three releases.
