At least the following are important (besides the problem with the Winbuilder)

What WinBuilders problem? I keep hearing there's "a problem" there, but don't know what it is -- and I had no problem using WinBuilders for Zope 2.8.

I know only that Christian had problems (according to his posting some days ago). I can not comment and can not value these issues. But there seems to be something.
For me, WinBuilders *seemed* to work fine - until I realized that it was reusing files from my previous 2.7 build. After nuking my 'build' directory, I get this error: touch "/cygdrive/e/src/zope-packages/build/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py" touch: creating `/cygdrive/e/src/zope-packages/build/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py': No such file or directory make: *** [/cygdrive/e/src/zope-packages/build/lib/python/Zope/Startup/run.py] Error 1 It appears the path should now be lib/python/Zope2/Startup/run.py. There was some talk about moving WinBuilders to under the main Zope tree - that would solve a few problems related to the build - including the "wrong pywin32 version one" (as it would have been much more difficult to not update WinBuilders!) Regarding the other bugs: Yuppie proposed 1776, but I'm afraid I don't understand the context of that report, so I'm unable to help. As Tim said, 1763 and 1711 don't apply. That leaves only 1728 and 1507, which appear the same issue - Yuppie just recently posted more information about that. Just before his mail I updated 1728 to indicate something similar, and that it is apparently not a "windows" bug. So I can't see anything else I can help with for 2.8. Also, while I am here :) I mailed my CVS contributor form a couple of weeks ago. What is the next step in the process? Cheers, Mark
