I'd like to rip out the old Interface module from the 2.11 branch and the trunk, along with all the useless decoys which import it. THere is no *good* BBB reason to keep them around: anybody still depending on them in A.G. 2008 needs to switch over, anyway.
Objections? I'll fix the CMF breakage myself, but the Plone folks are going to have to revisit lots of grotty bits. Isn't the policy to deprecate in release N and remove in N+2? They've been deprecated for five years.
I agree that they've been deprecated for years, so that shouldn't need to hold anything up. That said, the consensus seems to be to only remove them from the trunk, as Zope 2.11 in a stabilization phase. Removing them from the trunk means at least progress.
I have checked in the changes on a new branch, made from the 2.11 branch as of today: http://svn.zope.org/Zope/branches/tseaver-2.11-no-z2-interfaces The intent is to merge the code only to the trunk (*not* to the 2.11 branch) from here. However, outside projects (CMF, Plone, Silva, etc.) could begin testing against that branch to find the breakage they need to repair. While excising the cruft, I noted a bunch of other cleanups which would make the code more habitable: - Consolidate interface definitions into the 'interfaces' module (or package) from current separate modules in ZCTextIndex, Sessions, and Transience products. - Clean up a bunch of crufty unit tests, again mostly in the products. I have the merge to the trunk done in my sandbox, and will likely check it in tomorrow unless somebody finds a timebomb. The merge went cleanly via: $ svn co $ZSVN/Zope/trunk Zope-trunk $ cd Zope-trunk $ svn merge -r 85793:85794 \ $ZSVN/Zope/branches/tseaver-2.11-no-z2-interfaces ... $ make clobber inplace ... $ /path/to/python test.py --all ... Total: 6592 tests, 0 failures, 0 errors in 26.892 seconds.
