Yes. ZopeMake uses ZClient to allow commandline scripting of imports and exports, but cannot import .zexp files that are not on the file system. I've been thinking about 2 of Zope's "problems" (security features) lately and I've almost hit some solutions. <Ask DC to turn a deaf ear> I wonder (I haven't looked) how difficult it would be to patch zope so it can import .zexp files that are already in ZODB, so that I can manage_addFile a .zexp file and then manage_importObjectFromZODB. I was thinking about using LocalFS for this, but I don't think LFS is deployed far and wide enough for this. Then again, if we get a solution for this, more people might use LocalFS. I might try to write the code if it sounds doable. It might be nice.

I am happy to announce ZopeMake 1.0, a couple of utilities to perform the upload/download of .zexp files without passing through the import/export interface. Instead, it uses the ZClient to perform directly the interaction with Zope.

Hmmm, does this suffer from the same security implications that are the reason behind DC not implementing TTW import of .zexp's? cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
