Zope 3.4 available as packages based on setuptools tarballs
I'd like to announce that the SchoolTool project has finished packaging a large proportion of the Zope 3 stack as separate Debian packages based on the setuptools tarballs from the KGS. The current development version of schooltool runs against this stack which includes most Zope 3.4 packages and ZODB 3.8. Many thanks to Ignas Mikalajunas did most of the work in preparing and testing the many separate packages in the zope namespace. Currently we are using launchpad's PPA system as a place to organize this development: https://launchpad.net/~schooltool-owners/+archive deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/schooltool-owners/ubuntu gutsy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/schooltool-owners/ubuntu gutsy main SchoolTool decided to go down this route as the current Zope 3 release and packaging looks to be on hold, with no end in sight. I'm announcing this in the hope that these packages will be useful to others. -- Brian Sutherland

Okay, so I think we should use the KGS and declare the set of packages in there as Zope 3.4.0. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter Web Software Design, Development and Training Google me. "Zope Stephan Richter"

The KGS changes from time to time, doesn't it? Do you mean "the set of packages frozen at this moment in time"? Marius Gedminas -- Committee, n.: A group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done. -- Fred Allen

Normally this list should not change at all, and corresponds to the last released 3.4 version, aka RC, or did I miss something? http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/versions.cfg

Only requests on IRC/mailing list to please update package zope.foo to version x.y.z+1 in the KGS, because of an important bugfix. I assume changes like this will happen occasionally. I'm happy to call the KGS "the latest released 3.4" version, but in my mind that is different from "3.4.0". I imagine there will be a 3.4.1 that matches the state of the KGS at some future point in time?
I see this more like using an SVN checkout of the 3.4 branch, as opposed to the 3.4.0 tag. You get a stable version, but it may change over time.

That means that the minor version of zope has no meaning but for the tarball version. - The KGS version is always called "3.4" and always contains the latest bugfixes. There is no 3.4.X - The tarball version is released from time to time, when the number of upgraded packages worth it. This one is called 3.4.X That also means that : - The 3.4 KGS is actually already released without having to release it! - the current RC tarball can be released now as 3.4.0 with current eggs - the bugfixes can be pushed to the KGS the day after This would allow all the bugfixes to be available as soon as they are released, and not to have to wait for 3.4.1.

No, when we do a release, I provide frozen versions of the KGS. See: http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/intro.html Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter Web Software Design, Development and Training Google me. "Zope Stephan Richter"

Hi, I'd just like to use the oportunity and point out a few small problems with packages in the current KGS... I understand that zope.app.traversing is deprecated, but still - i think it should depend on zope.traversing (it does not have any dependencies at the moment), because else just installing zope.app.traversing will give you import errors not deprecation warnings. z3c.breadcrumb-1.0.2 z3c.formjs-0.3.0 z3c.form-1.8.0 z3c.formui-1.4.1 have http://download.zope.org/distribution in their dependency links, which I think is not a very good idea. zope.server 3.4 does not have a proper entry point for wsgi server defined, so PPA has zope.server 3.5 Other than that everything seems to be working fine. Thanks for all the work you did on KGS, it really helped us to get our zope3 dependencies packaged in a usable state for ubuntu ... If someone will want to release a Zope3 based application on ubuntu - schooltool-common and schooltool-2008 are probably the packages that should be looked at to find out how to get a paste based server using an entry point defined in your egg.
