From where I'm standing, with Zope 2.8.4 it's as safe as with Zope 2.9 (which actually *requires* Python 2.4...) So it is really just a label we put on the 2.8 and 2.9 branches, in terms of the relevant code base they're the same...
Statements like that are *dangerous*. The label is all that it is about. It is against the possibility that although the likely relevant code base is the same, there might be some minor minor minor switch that makes everything burn.
I really can't figure out what your saying.
Sorry. See my response a couple of lines downwards.
What Andreas is saying is that Python 2.4 still isn't supported for Zope 2.8. This is different from a statement about a security audit. The security audit evaluated and addressed issues arising from a change from Python 2.3 to python 2.4. Zope 2.8.4 reflects this. We still choose not to support Python 2.4 for Zope 2.8 because there hasn't been any sort of test release cycle for Zope 2.8 with Python 2.4. Zope 2.9 will go through such a cycle which will give us at least some consequence.
If I didn't miss anything, neither an audit has happend for Zope 2.8 with Python 2.4, nor did we make it a supported platform.
You did miss something. As has been pointed out several times in this thread, the audit did happen for 2.8 and 2.8. And, as has also been said many times, Python 2.4 with Zope 2.8 is not supported.
IMHO it is dangerous to call it "just a label" that we apply.
I really don't know what "it" you are refering to. We did do the security audit. We still aren't supporting Python 2.4 for Zope 2.8.
If the audit was performed, then I'll shut up immediately.
