I'm copying Fred because he may remember more about this than I do. Fred, do you know of a reason why I can't stitch a newer ZODB into Zope(2) trunk? I have a dim, fading memory of the last attempt failing, and of agreeing in email to wait for the "5 guys" to "do something" before trying again. Sorry for not being more specific ...
We need to do the zpkg/ZODB switch all at once because it affects how extensions get their include files. When I tried switching the Zope 2 trunk before, there was a problem due to Five tests failing. I don't remember the details, but the Five-folks seemed to think things would be better with newer versions of Five. Since Five development is done elsewhere, though, it's hard to tell what the deal is with that. I snapshotted what I did get done as the zpkg-build-branch, so we can get back to it without duplicating work. -Fred -- Fred L.
