Upgrade Zope 2.1.1 to Current - Suggestions???
I Would like to Upgrade my Zope installation to current version. Would like the best set of instructions available. I found this document: http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO would it be best to follow these instructions? Is there anything I should look out for, any gotcha's? Thanks. My current version information: Zope version: Zope 2.1.1 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Python version: 1.5.2 (#10, Dec 6 1999, 12:16:27) [GCC 2.7.2.3] System Platform: linux2 -- Robert Geiger
See the Upgrading to 2.2 document at http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.0/upgrading_to_220 Also, if you are going to 2.4 or 2.5, you will need Python 2. It also seems like ZPatterns and things based on it (ie; LoginManager) may have problems with releases > 2.3. I suppose if you are using 2.1.1 that you aren't using any of that anyway.

Use SteveA's TransactionAgents, aka ZPatterns for Zope 2.4+ ;-) cheers, Chris

I'm thinking like a database developer, I suppose, and worrying that there is some possible difference between the ZODB that is incompatible or in need of upgrade, too. Otherwise, moving to Python 2 and upgrading doesn't seem to be that much of a problem. Would you recommend Zope 2.4 of 2.5?

But Zope 2.2 contained drastic changes with respect to the security policy. Any upgrade from before 2.2 to something after 2.2 needs to take this into consideration. As you probably understand, upgrade and installation instructions can not accumulate information for all old Zope versions. Thus, the upgraders of old versions need to read old instructions. But, you go directly to the latest Zope version. When you get strange security exceptions, you read the "upgrade to 2.2" and the Zope Security Policy document (developped for 2.2; maybe meanwhile upgraded).
Would you recommend Zope 2.4 of 2.5? Zope 2.5 with Python 2.1.2! Zope 2.4/Python 2.1.1 contains quite a few problems with memory management.

Thanks Dieter. I didn't mean to upgrade to 2.2 first, only that those changes are valid for all post 2.1 versions of zope.
