First of all, I would like to thank everybody for your accurate and fast answers. I am working with a small group of developers, each in different places and working at different times. According to my past experience in java, this means "cvs" ^_^ I have some doubts about how to synchronize Zope development with cvs or subversion. Should I stop using the ZMI? Should I develop a Zope Product instead? Should I use fsdump instead of webdav to export from zope ? Should I use webdav when deploying back to Zope? This is my actual state-of-the-art about team management in Zope : We develop inside locally installed Zope Instances, using the ZMI. At the end of the day, we export the work done using webdav, and this works for DTML documents, DTML methods and ZSQL methods. After that, we commit inside the source code repository, using the update, diff and merge features to synchronize with other developers' work. We need to deploy to a Zope server in order to test the integration of developers' code, so I wrote a little PUT_factory to re-create the right objects, this is a snippet: elif ext == 'zsql': from Products.ZSQLMethods.SQL import SQL return SQL(name, '', 'daticonvegno', '' ,'') elif ext == 'dtml': from OFS.DTMLDocument import DTMLDocument return DTMLDocument( '', __name__=name ) elif ext == 'dtmm': from OFS.DTMLMethod import DTMLMethod return DTMLMethod( '', __name__=name ) elif major == 'text': from OFS.DTMLDocument import DTMLDocument return OFS.DTMLDocument.DTMLDocument( '', __name__=name ) As you can see, it uses extensions to understand the type of the file. This has some minor drawbacks : 1) you have to use extensions to make it work, otherwise you will have trouble at deploy-time 2) some additional parameters such as the connectionIds for ZSQLMethods must be auto-magically chosen by the PUT_factory 3) what about more complex objects, such as Plone, Archetypes or Openflow? should I map them all in the PUT_factory? Is this the "right way" to do things in Zope? Is there any native solution for Source Code Versioning and Team Management? How do other team solve this issue? Any advice is welcome! Thank you very much in advance, Luca
