Re: [Zope] Trying to install Zope2-2.12.0b2 on Windows - Progess Report
Dear all I've managed to install it, largely thanks to the hint from Andreas Jung.
I haven't got a C compiler installed - I assumed the purpose of the Zope Windows egg was that I wouldn't need to compile?
I found all the required packages on PyPI - but in two cases, the latest version didn't have a Windows egg. I changed requires.txt for the two packages to require a specific version, which have a Windows egg. This installed zope.security == 3.6.0 and zope.hookable == 3.4.0 without problems. My Questions: - Will the final Zope 2.12 egg have specific versions for its dependencies (otherwise, how do you get consistent installations)? - Is there an option in SetupTools that ignores versions of packages which would need to compile? This could be very useful for Windows users, who are afraid to compile. Otherwise, most things seem to run smoothly with Zope 2.12.0.b3 / Py 2.6 under Windows, apart from a few changed imports in (legacy) Products such as GroupUserFolder. Thanks again, and best regards, Martin

Your installation won't finish since all versions are pinned.

We have to provide windows binaries for all related egg - our task. Andreas

Ideally we would use some of the KGS tools + something like buildbot to automate the building of those Windows binaries: few of the core developers can build them easily by hand.

Ideally we would use some of the KGS tools + something like buildbot to automate the building of those Windows binaries: few of the core developers can build them easily by hand. I was thinking about using the XMLRPC API of PyPI for checking new releases of some zope.* packages (same approach as we are using in z3c.pypimirror). However an automated build process must have permissions on PyPI for each individual package in order for uploading the windows build.

The missing binary packages for the related packages be one available from PyPI (thanks to Hanno). Andreas On 16.07.09 15:58, martin.gfeller@comit.ch wrote:
