[Newbie] Source configuration management with zope
by Gérard Oogle 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi list, I recently discovered Zope, took the tutorial, read a couple of things, and I am now in the process of writing my first little app. So far there's something that is bugging me because I can't relate it to my previous habits. Ant it relates to the configuration management of what the developper I am produces. In my life before Zope: * I was developing in a sandbox composed of: o a "source sandbox" that was the mirror of a -cvs- repository o data sets for test purpose (files, database, ...) * There was a set of tools -compiler, sqlj, ...- that were able to give life to the "code" part of that sandbox by producing something that could be deployed * Sometimes there was another set of tools -ejbc, pl/sql script, ...- that were able to deploy the preceeding same artifacts into *different* environments The main ones beign o The QA environment o Real live production system * When we, developers, were 'creative'/'careless', we would release in supplement of the usual deployable artifacts 'migration scripts' You've probably recognized the regular Java/J2EE mantras. It is a little bit far now but I think I remember that things were not *that* different in Smalltalk: * I was developing in a sandbox composed of: o a "source sandbox" that was an image of an Envy repository o data sets for test purpose: it happened that our data were also stored in an Envy repository but it was an instance different from the one in which we were maintaining our code. * There was a set of tools -packager/configuration manager (my memories vanish)- that were allowing us to deploy the resulting same artifacts into *different* environments * I never had to write 'migration scripts' between 2 Envy repository If I mention Envy, it is because when I try to understand Zodb, I can't help making parallels between those 2 "stores". What puzzles me is that I confusely have the impression that: * when I am developing my little prototype, the code and the data it manipulates end up in the same Data.fs * I don't know where to code my second iteration of this prototype as soon as I will have shown it to business expert I working with and that he will start populating it with his data: o should I use Zope version management features and work on the *same* Data.fs than my business guy? o Does that mean that I cannot work locally on my machine and that I have to be connected to the server us 2 guys have access to? o if so, how can I tag each versions or better how can I package these versions to be able to deploy them in different Data.fs? To put it in a nutschell, I guess I am wondering how logic and data can be separated in Zope. I guess also that I am not the first dinosaur the zope community is welcoming. I would be grateful if someone could: * either shoot me a couple of links explaining how to do that * or help me refactor my views on the world (and I guess that a couple of links would do it also). Last thing, in that same frame of mind, since zope.org itself was recently upgraded, could somebody please detail us the various steps followed for that migration? Thanks in advance, -- Gérard

Help Error!!!
by Todd Loomis, (SAIC) 28 Aug '03

All: I'm getting this error message every time I try to start Zope: /var/www/zope/lib/python/ts_regex.py:87: DeprecationWarning: the regex module is deprecated; please use the re module import regex, regsub #, Sync /usr/lib/python2.1/regsub.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the regsub module is deprecated; please use re.sub() DeprecationWarning) What gives, it was working fine then I got a call saying the site wasn't responding. So I restarted Zope and got this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ============================================ Todd

Also I > consider this an error when Zope will not startup! Apparently something other than those warnings are preventing Zope from starting. What version of Zope and Python are you running, and on what operating system? Do you have a log file in the "var" directory? Have you looked at it? Shane

Need Functionality of Zope Book
by Brady Joslin 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hey guys, This one is probably an easy question if you know the answer. I need the exact functionality of the Zope book. I need to dump large amounts of text from books into the CMS and allow comments after each paragraph, which looks to be the exact functionality of the code that runs the book. The perfect example is this page: http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/AppendixB.stx Can anyone tell me how I can get that code? Many thanks, Brady __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com

That is a step in the right direction. BUT, it still seems to me that it isn't as good a named pipe (although I'd be glad to be proven wrong) because with a named pipe *you can control the permissions of the pipe* whereas anyone can connect to the localhost port if they have an account on the machine. Am I missing something again? :-) > jens -- Mike

But what's the point in having Internet server which only understand English language and can serve only documents in English? I'm sure that there're many users of Zope using languages other than English, but evidently very few developers. > If there are specific patches or collector issues you can point me at, > perhaps I can help (or at least tell you I can't ;-) There's a patch for Zope 2.7 that adds support for encodings other than latin-1, but it was sent to the zopyrus mailing list so there's no an URL to point you at. I'll check if there're relevant collector issues.
