can these wrong DEPENDENCIES.cfg files be removed?
We are working on zope.app.renderer and I see that there is a file named "DEPENDENCIES.cfg" that lists: docutils zope.app zope.component zope.configuration zope.interface zope.schema zope.structuredtext zope.testing while the actual package has a different list of dependencies: setuptools docutils zope.component zope.configuration zope.i18nmessageid zope.interface zope.publisher zope.schema zope.structuredtext [test] zope.app.testing What is the DEPENDENCIES.cfg file for, and why are the dependencies listed different than the current ones in setup.py? Can I just remove the redundant information in DEPENDENCIES.cfg and have the information in just one place instead? -- Brandon Craig Rhodes brandon@rhodesmill.org http://rhodesmill.org/brandon
AFAIK, these files are for (pre-egg, no-longer-used) zpkg tool. They are removed in zope.app.renderer's trunk, BTW. 2009/1/27 Brandon Craig Rhodes <brandon@rhodesmill.org>:

I certainly hope no one is relying on that old tools! The following files are all from that experiment, and are present at many points in the "sumo" checkout, so many of the satellite projects are affected: DEPENDENCIES.cfg PACKAGE.cfg PUBLICATION.cfg SETUP.cfg -Fred -- Fred L.

I care about those files in Zope3/ and ZODB3/, since they are used to create the Zope 3 tar ball. Remember, Zope 3.4 will be the *first* release where we officially introduce eggs. And I have heard from a lot of people that would like to see a couple more TAR ball releases. I have a script to update the Zope3/ tree, so it is fairly easy for me to fulfill that request.

Isn't it possible to rewrite the tarball builder to use egg requires instead of those files? I don't know much about the tarball releasing process though... -- WBR, Dan Korostelev

Sure, if you are willing to do the work. And it would still be quiet a different release. I will not delay the release of Zope 3.4 waiting for this to happen. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter Web Software Design, Development and Training Google me. "Zope Stephan Richter"

The interesting part of the first post was that it indicated that the DEPENDENCIES.cfg are old and incorrect already. Why exactly don't you just take everything thats in the Zope3 tree checkout and ignore those DEPENDENCY.cfg files?

What do people want from a tar release. Wouldn't their needs be adequately met by a source release made with zc.sourcerelease? Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation
