RE: [Zope] Revision Control / CVS / SVN integration with ZODB?

You may be interested in: http://www.zope.org/Members/jdoyon/svnapezope/Caesar This was a one man thing I did ... I ran into some big hurdles, and gave up on it for now. I still think the idea is excellent mind you, but some of the ZODB/APE paradigms didn't translate well into the SVN world. But having true, powerful revisioning capabilities for your objects would be incredibly useful to many I'm sure! As someone else mentionned, you probably should move a lot of your code onto the file system anyways. As much as possible, only pure content should be held in actual objects. J.F. -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces(a)zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org] On Behalf Of Michael Schwartz Sent: November 7, 2005 10:12 AM To: zope(a)zope.org Subject: [Zope] Revision Control / CVS / SVN integration with ZODB? Zope has been a fantastic environment for our application (a front end for an Asterisk PBX application), but now that more people are contributing to the development effort, it is becoming a challenge to keep the various environments in sync. The project is now hundreds of page templates, sql methods, and python scripts: we desperately need revision control to move the project forward. I am wondering if the past CVS Products are compatible with Zope 2.8. We tried using Revision Manager: it installs ok, I check in the objects, but after a short period of time, it throws errors when you try to do a CVS update. Revision Manager is great when it works, but it has been too buggy. I tried ZCVSFolder... the "stable" 0.2.7b2 Product would not load in Zope 2.8.1. I was able to load the 0.2.5 version, but had trouble checking my objects into the repository. Maybe I need to spend more time here. What is the Roadmap for Revision Control in Zope 2, especially for us non-Plone users? Am I missing something with Revision Manager? Does it work for other people with Zope 2.8? I see that the Zope project itself is using Subversion, are there any plans for integrating SVN with Zope? tia, Mike Schwartz _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope(a)zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Z2.log question
by David 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

Hi What environment or REQUEST variable is used for the Z2.log as the username? We are using Zope 2.7 and since we have switched to XUF (w cookies), the Z2.log does not record the username for a request any longer. Or more precise, it displays any user logged in via a XUF user folder as "Anonymous". How can I tell Zope my user's name, so that it gets into the Z2.log? DR

[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.1.0 released
by Andreas Jung 06 Nov '05

06 Nov '05

Fro I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3.1.0. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or in Zope 3. What's new? - multi-field indexing and query support - multi-lingual support - configurable converters (through ZCML) - new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters). Changes in V 3.1.0: - added relevance ranking based on the cosine-measure - new query options 'ranking' and 'ranking_maxhits' (see doc/README.txt for details) - Plone integration: created TextIndexNG3 instance are now created to support relevance ranking out-of-the-box. The TextIndexNG3 configlet inside the Plone configuration now allows you to re-create TextIndexNG3 instances without touching the ZMI. - Plone integration: better support for indexing binary content stored as ATFile instances through providing a direct Zope 3 adapter implementation (see adapters/ plone_adapters.py). This should dramatically improve the indexing result compared to using PortalTransforms. - Plone integration: all Plone content-types are now being indexed with TextIndexNG3 out-of-the-box by the provided adapter. - Bugfix: indexing binary content no longer raises a ComponentLookupError if a corresponding converter could not be found - lots of minor fixes Requirements: - Zope 2.8+, Zope 3.1+ Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng Project page: http://opensource.zopyx.biz/OpenSource/TextIndexNG3 For installation and documentation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the archive. It's basically the same procedure as with former versions except you *need* to recompile the extension modules. Windows binaries of the required extension modules are currently not available (any volunteers?). TextIndexNG V 3 is published under the ZPL.

What is the CMF? The Zope Content Management Framework provides a set of services and content objects useful for building highly dynamic, content-oriented portal sites. As packaged, the CMF generates a site much like the Zope.org site. The CMF is intended to be easily customizable, in terms of both the types of content used and the policies and services it provides. Where do I get it? Download it from http://zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.5.5-beta Points of interest include: - "Windows ZIP file", http://zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.5.5-beta/CMF-1.5.5-beta.zip - "Unix tar/gzip archive", http://zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.5.5-beta/CMF-1.5.5- beta.tar.gz . - "Release notes", http://zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.5.5-beta/README.txt - "Change history", http://zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.5.5-beta/CHANGES.txt - "Installation instructions", http://zope.org/Products/CMF/CMF-1.5.5-beta/INSTALL.txt Where do I go to learn more? The CMF mailing list (zope-cmf(a)zope.org) has many participants who are active in supporting the CMF. ...to report bugs? The "CMF Collector":http://zope.org/Collectors/CMF is the place to report bugs (please search for existing reports of your issue first!) --------- Jens Vagelpohl jens(a)dataflake.org

sql access style
by Vlada Macek 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

I'm about to create a Zope (Plone, in fact) application, as a Package, that will operate on data accessible via SQL (Firebird RDBMS). I'm ordered the data must stay in SQL storage, not in ZODB. Recently I found, outside of Zope, that using python-kinterbasdb module is very straighforward and easy. It's simply about writing SQL statements to Python code. Until then I thought I'll use usual ZSQL Methods for each SQL statement in the application, but kinterbasdb seems to allow a quickier developing. First thing that arises is that I will need to keep the persistent connection reference in the product instance, but it's bearable IMHO. I'm unexperienced in this, please may I hear pros/cons of each method? Thanks in advance. -- \//\/\ (Sometimes credited as 1494 F8DD 6379 4CD7 E7E3 1FC9 D750 4243 1F05 9424.)

VHM and SSL protection problem
by Sophia Grimm 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hello Everyone. I have an existing Cosign-protected site and now I need a site that is only SSL encrypted. We have many apps for which users should be authenticated against a local MySQL database *instead* of Cosign, but we want network traffic to be encrypted. I originally tried setting this up all in one Zope server in different folders, but I can't get SSL to work without Cosign authentication on that Zope server. So I tried installing a separate Zope, as shown below. My current setup is: Macintosh OS X Server 10.4.2, Apache 1.3.33, mod_fastcgi 2.4.2, mod_ssl 2.8.22, OpenSSL 0.9.7g, with Cosign. I have but one ethernet address for the server. Installation #1: Plone 2/Zope 2.7.1 This is our Cosign-protected, stable setup using FastCGI to put Apache in front of Zope (which I know is outdated but I cannot immediately change). Installation #2: Plone 2.1/Zope 2.7.7 I'm trying to use VHM and an Apache rewrite rule to protect this site with SSL. I'm using instructions from http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/apache-ssl . Step number 7 shows this rewrite rule: RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/https/www.yourmachinename.com:443/$1 So if my original Zope site was http://www.sg.com:8080/ the above rule should simply rewrite the URL to https://www.sg.com:443/ which would force all requests for the http site to go through SSL before being forwarded to Zope. Correct? However, when I create a VHM (without any special mappings) and add the rewrite rule and restart, Apache seems to completely ignore the rewrite. Modifying it in various ways causes errors. Any hints are much appreciated. Thanks! -- SG __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

manage_minimize
by Krzysztof Kubacki 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

Hi, Zope-2-7-6 I would like to minimize cache of my ZODB mounted database by manage_minimize function from PythonScript placed in Root Folder. I created the mounted database called "mounted_database" in ZODB. When I do it this way context.Control_Panel.Database.mounted_database.manage_minimize() it minimizes main database but not mounted_database, but when I do it this way context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('Control_Panel/Database/mounted_database/manage_minimize') it works. Why??? I have to use the first solution becouse I'm going to place more code after minimizing. Regards Krzychu

What people use as an ODBC database adaptor on Zope 2.7 and above? Is the eGenix.com mxODBC Zope DA commercial product the only serious alternative? TIA, __peppo
