- Move LocalPermission into new zope.localpermission package. I personally didn't ever need local permissions. You're talking about locally defined permissions, correct, not about giving someone a permission locally?
I'm talking about local persistent permissions that can be added to ZODB and registered per site. It's zope.securitypolicy that gives local permissions, so, LocalPermission has nothing to do with local grants.
Right, that's what I thought. Agreed they should go off into a package on its own, probably to eventually die. :) (I have bad memories of struggling with this stuff in a sprint in 2003).
Thinking now. If we want local persistent permissions to be considered dead and we want to discourage their usage, may be the package should be called "zope.app.localpermission" then? If so, we could also move its ZMI views there and forget about that package. :) It's just because "zope.localpermission" name sounds like "some nice part of zope framework", but in reality, the functionality provided by the package is deprecated for use withing _the framework_. But, do we really want it deprecated and dead? May be there's some nice use cases for it? Anyone? -- WBR, Dan Korostelev
