I am trying to resolve some Oracle issues with ZopeProfiler, but it's a "monkey patch" with no instructions on installing it. I've searched this mailing list and the zope.org website high and low for instructions on installing a "monkey patch," but I'll be damned if I can find them. Can someone offer assistance?
"Monkey patch" means that instead of patching the actual source code, we are replacing some class or function at runtime. It's the same as a "Hotfix" except it's generally agreed that the Hotfix name is reserved for security-related patches. Monkey patches are normally distributed and installed like any other zope product: You put the directory in your Products directory and restart. That's it. IIRC, ZopeProfiler follows this pattern. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's METABOLIC INVESTIGATOR! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
