Hi,

I'm in the midst of rolling repoze out on our BastionLinux RPM's (at https://linux.last-bastion.net/LBN/up2date/plope/6 (repoze.* and zope.*) for *exactly* what files and versions are being shipped).

We're at zope-2.9.9, the latest release that runs up plone-2.5.x. I've thus packaged up the required components on http://dist.repoze.org/zope2/2.9/

However, the zope.interface-3.4.0 is from a later version of Z3 than ships with Z2 (I think this is still at 3.3) and when zope.app.component from the Z2 tree is invoked through paster, it dies horribly when it can't find zope.interface.adapter.Surrogate - which appears to have vanished between releases. Downgrading to zope.interface-3.3.0, as shipped with zope-2.9.9 fixes this (insofar as zope2.wsgi now runs up from the command line).

Eek. You're right. I mispackaged. The zope.interface version up there now is the 3.2 version that ships with Zope 2.9. We maintain multiple indexes, and we haven't yet automated a buildbot to test them so it's exceedingly difficult to make sure they all work at all times. Apologies.

...

Similarly, the ZODB3 version (3.7.2) is later than that shipped in zope-2.9.9. I don't expect any issues with this (yet at least) as I'm running vanilla zeo from zope-2.9.9

That doesn't cause any problem in our testing.

...

Is this anomaly simply due to hoping that nobody will notice if the Z2.10 tarballs are foisted on Z2.9 users - or indeed are these genuinely required, and I'm about to enter module import hell?

No, I think you should be good now with the new distribution. Thanks for the notification.

...

Note that the zope.proxy and zope.testing tarballs are similarly incorrect, but they too appear benign.

I also believe these are benign.

I'm currently running an easy_install to make sure.

Well it *would* have worked if easy_install didn't go off to download.zope.org to find the latest zope.interface package due to a promiscuous distribution_links in the ZODB package. See also http://plope.com/Members/chrism/distribution_links_considered_harmful .. Ugh. I'll need to re-roll that ZODB egg without the dependency-links and put it up there. I'll post when that's done. - C _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
