Given those dates the most commonly used Plone version will be based on Python 2.4 up until end of next year by the looks of it. What about implementing the dropping of Python 2.4 compatibility in september, then? To give you guys a bit more time?
Were this some other project, I'd ask the Plone folks or some other group that cares about Zope packages under 2.4 to set up a buildbot that tested "the ZTK" under Python 2.4. Then I'd ask the same folks to to pay attention to the buildbot output and fix issues exposed by the buildbot over time.
I'm all for people setting up a buildbots. And people do sometimes set up buildbots. But I think we forget to actually document where the buildbot is, what it is doing, and who to contact about it. People sometimes ask *me* about buildbots when I bring up the topics as if I somehow know how they work and what to do with them. So I keep trying to delegate it to someone who can make sure that: * there's a buildbot * that someone's listening to this mailing list and reminds people about the buildbot and tells people what the buildbot can and cannot do * that someone extends the Zope Toolkit documentation telling people about the buildbot, where to find it, how to use it, etc. Doesn't have to be much, just a page. I should probably make this clearer. Not rely on my memory of who all were talking about a buildbot and having to dig through a mailbox to find the URL to one. Regards, Martijn
