This is already done on the zodb-blobs-branch. I would be happy to create a mountpoint-branch that does not externally link the ZODB with blob support, then merge the changes in to the Zope 2 HEAD (and 2.9 branch if one exists). November 1 feature freeze, eh? I'd love to get blobs in before this too but I don't know if it will be possible. If not, it would really suck. On Tue, 2005-10-18 at 10:22 -0400, Jim Fulton wrote:
I was just reminded (by a zope3-dev question) of mount points. Zope2 has a mount-point capability that requires baboon patching of ZODB. The ZODB that will be used for Zope 2.9 has a multi-database feature that would allow a much simpler Zope 2 mount implementation that would not require even monkey patching of ZODB. It also, I think, would provide much more robust mounting behavior. It would be great if someone would update mounting for Zoep 2.9 to use multi-databases. I'd be happy to provide advice for such an effort. Of course, this would need to be completed before the November 1 feature freeze.
