[Zope-dev] Re: Zope 2.1.5/6/7 upgrading issues

[Brian Lloyd]

Hi guys,

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the pain factor here - 
there has been some CM process changes around here and the 
2.1.x branch is suffering as a result :(

I have a proposal, however, that I hope will make this much 
easier. How about if we:

  o release a "Product" today that, if you install it and 
    restart your Zope (no matter what version), patches the 
    hole at runtime (in memory change only).

  o retract the 2.1.7 release in favor of getting 2.2 beta 2 
    out on Monday, which doesn't have the cruft problem of 
    the 2.1.x branch and contains all fixes to date (and 
    which will fix SQLMethod problems and support the SiteAccess
    release that Evan is making today).


I can have the new "hotfix" product ready by 12:00pm EST today.
