Sure, we use buildout where I work. But it relies on setuptools, as does easy_install. So I was making an example of specifying an egg using easy_install, but you can also use the same version selection syntax from a buildout.cfg. To install the 'dev' version using buildout, it might look something like this: recipe = zc.recipe.egg eggs = Products.SQLAlchemyDA==dev This would allow other users to try out the dev version easily in their existing buildouts, without having to use svn recipes or mr.developer. It's important to make it low effort for people in order get more participation in testing. >> I've had trouble finding an issue tracker for the SQLAlchemy DA.

I'm glad, because we want to use SQLAlchemy DA in future production, and have parts of our app use zsql, while other parts call into the SQLAlchemy API, possibly from within the same transaction. I could see the possibility of more issues as we test with different database platforms like Oracle and MSSQL. Also, I am wondering if any changes in the DA will be required to support Zope 2.12+. Even if there is only one ticket to start with, it seems like a good idea to have an issue tracker. Would it make sense to use the Zope 2 issue tracker, since this is a component for Zope 2? https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope2 _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
