urgh. i have to subscribe? i use gmane to follow all of the lists...
*sigh*

/me reads svn docs to learn about svn:keywords.

ah, right. will do.

all i did was move the FTI factory methods out of the TypesTool class
and into the module. this makes it possible for the FTIs to be added to
the types tool using the regular GenericSetup.utils.ObjectManagerHelpers
mechanism, otherwise "Factory-based Type Information" won't exist in
Products.meta_types.
i did this because i'm trying to match CMF trunk's site creation
mechanisms as much as possible. it's possible (probable, even) that
there are side effects that i'm missing here, though.

yes, i guess this can be put back in.

i've got all this working, or at least i think i do. are the TypesTool
changes the ones i was mentioning above?
for the ActionsTool, creating actions as full blown objects of course
isn't working. all i had to do to get this working, though, was to
remove some code from
CMFCore.exportimport.actions.ActionsToolNodeAdapter. at first i
modified this code to actually add actions to the action providers in
the old manner, but was surprised to see that the actions were all added
twice; i guess the tool initializations handle adding the actions
themselves.
i might be missing some key points here, though. /me looks forward to
being enlightened.
