[Grok-dev] zope.location version for blob copy

[Souheil CHELFOUH]

I did some investigations
The problems comes from 2 things :

we can not use zope.app.catalog 3.8.0, since it uses zope.intids and
not zope.app.intids. Therefore :

1. we need to use zope.app.catalog 3.5.1
2. zope.app.catalog 3.5.1 uses
zope.traversing.interfaces.IPhysicallyLocatable while it should now
use zope.location.interfaces.ILocationInfo
3. While using zope.location.interfaces.ILocationInfo, we run into a
problem since zope.app.folder 3.4.0 rootFolder does not provide
zope.location.interfaces.IRoot
4. We can not use zope.app.folder 3.5.1 since it uses a too recent
version of zope.component that breaks Grok's imports

Once this is fixed, it runs perfectly. All tests pass.
I wonder what could be done about this.
zope.location 3.7.0 works correctly with zope.app.catalog 3.5.1 and
zope.app.folder 3.4.0.
We could publish a 3.5.2 version of zope.app.catalog using
zope.location 3.7.0 and a zope.app.folder 3.4.1
I don't think that people will be happy about this.

Other solution is to change Grok to use the last zope.catalog and
zope.component.

I need a solution for myself, even if I end up monkeypatching. I'd
rather use the energy to do something constructive.
