I also tried to get the patch working with 2.2CVS PTK CVS and had little luck. I also needed to manually apply the patch and worked through the errors until I got a security violation with the PTK. I was no longer in any way able to access any of my test portals using the management interface. I needed to back the patch out and get to plain 2.21a and PTK cvs to even get a ZODB portal working.
Interesting. I've been avoiding 2.2 until the new security model gets some more bugs worked out. Unfortunately, this means I'm not surprised that you had problems...
LM seems to be pretty happy on the whole with 2.2 at this point.
We seem to have consensus on this. Looks like Kevin's taken over the lead on getting to the next step which is a coherent interface for PTK Membership to use to specify how to set up its LoginManager (e.g. how do I create a Membership instance using a Postgressql based UserSource here, and another Membership instance using NT domain logins there).
Actually, my short term goal is to make everything the PTK currently offers available as separate components (and as the PTK bundle), and to make things ZPatterns-aware. So, the Membership part that I'll be releasing will basically just set up a LoginManager with the high level interfaces... I'm not going to spend any time worrying about other UserSources and such at the moment. Those probably want be a big deal anyhow, given LM's pluggable architecture...
So my vote is to check your patch into the main stream and harden it.
That's three in favor and none opposed so far. I'll do it after fighting a higher priority fire this afternoon.
Yep. For some reason, I had been thinking your patch was in the CVS PTK, so I'm actually not even looking at your patched code, I guess :( Kevin
