I started writing this question and then finally solved it myself, but I figured it was worth posting still as a recommendation. I am running Zope-2.3.0 (which I successfully installed from src on FreeBSD a few months ago) and wish to upgrade. I have downloaded Zope-2.3.x-to-2.3.1-src.tgz and unzipped it, but I can't (couldn't) find any instructions on what to do. The doc folder only contains: CHANGES.txt FAQ.txt LOGGING.txt none of which explain how to install this. And as far as I can see no other docs are included. I read http://www.zope.org/Members/mcdonc/HowTos/zopeinstall/ZOPE-INSTALL-HOWTO but that does not seem to match the file I have downloaded. The file I have downloaded looks more like a patch rather than a full installation. Nor does http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.2.0/upgrading_to_220 - this seems outdated. I then went to http://www.zope.org/Documentation/admin but nothing there either. Finally I searched the mailing lists and found http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/54997 The last 11 lines of this letter explain what to do (I think). Nothing on the site or in the file explains that it is a "diff" release (or what a "diff" is - or what to do with it). I would recommend that some instructions and explanations be placed on http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.3.1 where the files can be downloaded from. Even the release email http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zope/message/55939 does not clearly explain what a "diff" release is. Or have I missed something completely?? Tom Cameron

This is something I've been meaning to do - so this morning I've finally made myself do it :) Please take a look at: http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Misc/InstallingZope.html ...and let me know if this seems clear enough. If so, I'll get it linked to all of the Zope distribution download pages. Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

Thanks for this Brian, Actually now that I look at the files in the tgz it makes perfect sense what it is. But until you've seen it before it is a complete mystery. This explanation seems clear to me.
