Regardless, what's the current status of this? Last I saw, Andreas announced a plan to release 2.8a2 this coming Friday evening (according to my clock <wink>), but AFAICT the five-integration branch is still distinct from the trunk.
Right. My plan was to post a reminder that 2.8a2 is scheduled for this weekend. So all Five related integration work should be finished very soon otherwise I am going to reschedule a2.
Most of that work has been done on the trunk. The 'five-integration' branch changes consist largely of: - Setting up an 'svn:external' link to the Zope X3 3.0 repository (which is on a branch, pruned to include only the packages which were actually released with 3.0). - Importing the Five product. - Un-monkey-fying Five's monkey patches. As soon as we settle the question of how ZODB gets stitched in (I prefer the 'svn:external' mode myself, but that is just a preference), that branch should be easily merged.
ZODB 3.4 requires some Zope3 packages, so there are potential integration headaches in two directions: (1) possible problems for ZODB due to five-integration using versions of those packages older than the ones ZODB 3.4 has been using; and, (2) code in five-integration that runs afoul of changes in ZODB 3.4. I can't predict these without trying the actual code.
I hope that the people doing the Five integration should have their stuff ready in time but there is no need to hurry with a release just for the sake of making a release. Means: if you need more time you weill get the time of course.
