This was while playing with versions.
Ugh, here we go again...
Is that me asking too many questions or the fact that this has been done to death already ;-)
Asking questions is never a problem! :) It's more that "versions broke my zope" is a recurring theme on the list... and the most frequent response is "Don't do that then". The mailing list archives are very useful. I use the searchable archive at nipltd.com, but there are other archives around.
It's possible that versions may be disabled by default in upcoming zope releases due to many recurring problems. This is still under discussion.
It seems to be a very powerful tool - though if it fubars Zope, maybe not.
There's no question it's a useful idea - particularly for making updates to a "live" site. But even though some bugs have been fixed in very recent CVS, I'm left with a general sense that versions are not trustworthy and I don't have time to thoroughly test-drive them, so I don't use 'em. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!
