[Zope-dev] EMarket and 2.2.0b3

[Steve Spicklemire]

I'm sure a lot of this is because EMarket was a 1.x product that has
seen relatively little change, in basic structure, since. I'm working
on some patched to allow (1) ZClasses to act as MarketItems and
Shoppers and (2) ZPatterns integration so that most objects can
be optionally stored in RDBM or ZODB. .. I'll go ahead and 
checkin my ZClass stuff. I'm not running 2.2x much, since I'm
really busy on other development... but I can at least
see if the product installs! ;-)

    RDM> Since this patch was reportedly added to the CVS, I think

    RDM> I'll work on this some more tomorrow, but so far I'm nowhere
    RDM> near finding what code might be involved in this set of

    RDM> Has anyone seen the aforementioned "weird problem" with any
    RDM> products other than EMarket and eTailor?
