So, could you please follow this policy for ZTK packages in SVN?
I suspect it would help if packages that are part of the ZTK have that indicated somewhere convenient, like near where the version number is specified in the setup.py file. Possibly with a link to the ZTK release policies.
When making changes, we're often considering the relevant packages in isolation or in the context of our own applications, so a pointer to additional policies that apply is helpful.
That's a good idea.
The extreme version of this reminder would to mark it in a lot of places in the package - in every python file and in setup.py near the version and near the dependencies listing and every aspect that could possibly be affected by ZTK policy. That is unworkable.
I figured a reference to the ZTK policies on the top of the setup.py would be enough to remind people.
I've just committed these changes.
I've also taken the liberty to update the ZTK policy to say that this should be done. (other steering group members can call me back if they don't like this policy change :)
I'm happy with that change, except that it might be worthwhile to announce policy changes in a separate thread.
