Could somebody give me a hint if and how it's possible to backport the Hotfix to Zope 2.1.6 ?
Surely it'd be better to move you servers forward to 2.2.5 or maybe 2.3.1 when it's out?!
It's about backwards compatibility. Debian's last release had a 2.1.6 package in it, and our release managers simply won't accept a new upstream version (i.e. 2.2.5 or 2.3) as security fix. Therefore, I have to try to backport security fixes to 2.1.6, silly as it might be, for those of our users that prefer stability over featurism ;-) Rest assured, though, that the next Debian *release* will feature 2.3.x. At this point, it simply stroke me as odd that the README is quite inaccurate, and it sounds as if there should be a simple for for this hole in 2.1.6, too. Gregor
