I'm looking at the two patches that were uploaded for http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1810 which is assigned to me... BUT:
1) Have we reached the end of the 2.7 line?
I expect that's Andreas's call now. I still plug away adding patches to the ZODB 3.2 line (which is maintained solely for the benefit of the Zope 2.7 line). If there won't be another 2.7-line release, I'd be delighted to retire the ZODB 3.2 line too.
Do I need to apply this to the 2.7 branch? Or can I just put this on the trunk and 2.8 branches and leave it at that? I really hate having to deal with both CVS and SVN for one fix...
Do it one place, do "cvs diff" or "svn diff" to create a patch, then apply the patch to the other place? That often works fine the first time.
2) Since 2.8.1 is planned for tomorrow, should I a) hurry up and get it in before that, or b) wait because I don't want to risk merging a not-widely-tested patch so close to the final release?
Does this require ZODB changes? If so, ZODB 3.4.1 final tarballs+installers have already been cut & tested (just awaiting upload & announcements). If I have to cut another ZODB release for Zope 2.8.1 (which is fine, if that's what's needed), the Zope 2.8.1 release should be delayed by a day to make enough time to do that.
or c) just create a bugfix branch and leave it for somebody else to sort out the merge, since I'll be out of town for the next 2 weeks starting tomorrow and can't help if there's anything wrong with the fix? :-)
Sounds like starting on #c now wouldn't be a waste of time in any case, and would leave all other options open.
