CVS & binary files
by Robin Becker 26 Jul '99

26 Jul '99

I've been using CVS to keep up with development of Zope2. I downloaded the latest beta1 installer and installed it. I notice a large number of differences between text files involving CRLF vs LF line terminators. Also I see many of the binary gifs & jpgs are different. This is clearly a problem related to the CVS treatment of text & binary files. I'm not sure whether this is my win32 client 1.10.5 or a CVS management problem. Apparently there are special rules for binary files. Can anyone advise/help? -- Robin Becker

ZClass-ZCatalog interaction bugs
by Alex Rice 25 Jul '99

25 Jul '99

[just posted to Collector] ZClass-ZCatalog interaction bugs? (2.0 beta 1) 1) In the ZCatalog "Find Items to Catalog" tab, if you select the ZClass superclass from types, ZClass sub-classes are not found (if you don't choose their types or 'all types' specifically. If you select the sub-class specifically, they are found. Seems like one should be able to just select the superclass and have all the sub-class instances be found. 2) In the ZCatalog "Cataloged Objects" tab, the hotlinks are to manage_main, but for ZClasses, there is no manage_main by default, only a manage_access. Maybe this should list the "first view" as defined on the ZClasses's Views tab? -- Alex Rice | alrice(a)swcp.com | http://www.swcp.com/~alrice Current Location: N.

real globals
by Robin Becker 24 Jul '99

24 Jul '99

What is the correct way for an ExtensionMethod to share data across all invocations. I have an extension method which does a mem/cpu intensive calculation. I have implemented a threaded queuing scheme using a global variable _Jobs; this variable is supposed to be unique. When I run the extension function twice simultaneously I get two copies of this 'global' instead of the expected 1; my function proceeds as expected, but the memory usage becomes extreme and thrashing starts. So my question is how to get the same environment for each invocation? -- Robin Becker

ANN: Zope for Windows (Zmake version) - new release
by Anthony Pfrunder 24 Jul '99

24 Jul '99

Hi, I've released a new version of Zope for Windows. This version now includes ALL the Win32 extensions neatly tucked into the Dlls directory. NO registry changes are made. You can now run Zope/Zserver as a Service, Pywin (in debugger if you wish) and console binary. All three versions support OLE, ActiveX and all the cool windows stuff. I haven't released my WordArt Zclass yet because it will require ghostscript (silly Word cannot save WordArt pics). To use this, you ONLY need Zope (python is included). Follow the instructions in PCBuild as usual. The files are available at: http://student.uq.edu.au/~s341625 Please let me know if you find these useful as they may not be updated ;) Cheers, Anthony Pfrunder Computer Systems Engineering University of Queensland

ZOPE hosting: Subsiting patch 0.5.
by Andreas Kostyrka 23 Jul '99

23 Jul '99

Hi! I've uploaded a patch at http://www.mtg.co.at/projects/subhosting/, that allows to host multiple websites in one ZOPE space. This is a pure ZPublisher patch, and as such supports only subsites that DO acquire from their mainsite. This is more or less the right thing for logically interconnected websites, and is probably acceptable for other uses too. The patch supports at ZPublisher level also nonacquiring subsites, but at the moment this is not functional, because there are no Application-alike objects yet (normal Folders don't work permissionwise, and creating an additional Application does neither :( ). I've included the README file for the patch here: ZOPE Subsite support patch. http://www.mtg.co.at/projects/subhosting/ This patch allows ZPublisher to support subsites, which are additional DNS names for some folder of an existing ZOPE site. For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL. As the CGI environment doesn't contain enough information for this to do reliably (without relying on heuristics), it extends the expected environment of ZPublisher by an new optional variable: ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER. This variable contains the number of Folder objects that are above the site start in the ZOPE database. The number can have a "c" appended, in which case ZPublisher cuts off the Folders above the site start Folder completely. This includes also acquisition. WARNING: Do not use the "c" option if you do not exactly know what you are doing. Standard ZOPE Folder objects are able to fulfill the role the Toplevel Application object. Example: http://www.main.crt/ <-- main site. http://www.main.crt/sites/sub/ <-- content of subsite http://www.sub.crt/ <-- sub site. So basically www.main.crt is the whole ZOPE process, while www.sub.crt should be mapped to a subfolder in www.main.crt, in a way that is transparent to user. For this to work, one just has to make www.sub.crt point to zope.cgi/sites/sub/... and add ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER=2 to the CGI environment. Apache Example: <VirtualHost ...> ... Servername www.sub.crt ... RewriteRule /(.*) .../zope.cgi/sites/sub/$1 [e=HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION:%1,E=ZOPE_DROP_FOLDER:2,t=application/x-httpd-cgi,l] </VirtualHost> Andreas Kostyrka -- Win95: n., A huge annoying boot virus that causes random spontaneous system crashes, usually just before saving a massive project.
