Hi there,
25 zope.app packages are broken due to changes in zope.publisher 3.12. zope.publisher had some components factored out of it into zope.login.
I fixed zope.app.exception: it could be fixed by adding the zope.login requirement and adding a zcml include statement. I suspect most, probably all, other failures are similarly shallow.
The breaking of so many packages wasn't noticed by anyone, until tests of svn checkouts that previously worked now broke.
I hope we can put mechanisms in place so that developers of ZTK packages can be better made aware of breaking other packages that depend on the ZTK. This way the developer making the changes could do one or more of the following:
* provide better backward compatibility
* fix up the breaking packages
* provide a better warning to others who are maintaining these packages that something was broken.
I faintly, faintly recall we had such early-warning mechanisms in the past. :)
AFAIK, the zope-tests list is the watchman on the battlements: seeing something break in its daily summary mail is usually the first warning I have that a checkin broke something. I would be glad to see other configurations sending their test results to that list, so that everybody gets notified about breakage.
