Also (I know many of you are already thinking it :), we are working on a way to distribute "patch" releases for things like this to make updates easier. Until then, for those who _really_ just want to patch your installation you can replace the file lib/python/ZPublisher/BaseRequest.py in your installation with the one from the 2.1.4 distribution and restart your Zope instance.
while it won't grok all cases (removed files etc.), why don't you start with providing simple diffs. At least most Unix folks would be glad about them:
tar xvpzf Zope-2.1.3-src.tar.gz tar xvpzf Zope-2.1.4-src.tar.gz diff -urN Zope-2.1.3-src Zope-2.1.4-src >Zope-2.1.4.diff
wc -l Zope-2.1.4.diff 82 Zope-2.1.4.diff
I.e. the patch is only 82 lines long or 3kb. Furthermore you can easily spot the changes.
I guess this won't help the win32 people, but it's better than having nothing IMHO.

Why not use 'cvs diff'?:: cvs diff -r Zope-2_1_3-src -r Zope-2_1_4-src > Zope-2.1.4_2.1.3.diff -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
