Very helpful, I have a ZClass that inherits a ZClass, a decision I wish I could have taken back, but it works, a little screwy override behavior, but it works. Sounds like, you don't use a classic dev-staging-production cycle... I've been spoiled by editing anything, anywhere, during my dev & beta cycles... as I move to production, I had thought I might move to a staging-production cycle... but you're making me think that Zope in production, is as different, as Zope every other way. Perhaps an incremental backup strategy could replace staging-production in my plan. Just checking my options for production strategies, before roll-out.... Thanks for your advice, -Jon Cyr cyrj@cyr.info Dieter Maurer wrote:

I'm planning to use the Distribute function of the ZClass to move them to my ZEO setup, eliiminating the possibility of editing them in production.

There is a known problem that you cannot import (and therefore distribute) products with ZClasses that use other ZClasses defined in a different product.

Are there any known problems with the Distribution mechanism...

I only played with the distribution mechanism -- never used it in earnest -- because I do want to be able to edit anything anywhere (where it is necessary -- especially in production).
