[ZODB-Dev] Re: [Zodb-checkins] CVS: ZODB3/ZEO/tests - testStart.py:NONE

[Guido van Rossum]

There's no email to track this, so this serves to tell people that
I've revived ZEO/start.py, ZEO/util.py and the unit tests for start.py
(ZEO/tests/testStart.py) by some nasty repository operations, after I
deleted them last night.

Even though ZEO/start.py will be replaced by ZEO/runsvr.py in ZODB
3.2, we had decided to keep start.py around for one more release.
This gives users a choice to upgrade to the new ZEO features in ZODB
3.2 without forcing them to upgrade to the new way of starting the ZEO
server.  When I deleted the files I was suffering from temporary
memory loss.

However, ZEO/start.py *will* disappear in ZODB 3.3.
