Yup, Andreas was referring to the SVN checkout.

"make test" *is* the canonical way of running tests. It's only that the
Zope/releases/Zope2/test.py script has a bug. It imports
zope.app.testing.test which doesn't exist in Zope 3.2 anymore. The
reason it has that bug is that it was copied from Zope 3 without much
thinking. Neither I nor the release managers of Zope 2 and 3 seemed to
have run "make test" before and after the betas, otherwise this problem
would have been apparent right away.

I guess it should use zope.testing.testrunner instead of
zope.app.testing.test, though I'm not sure how the parameters and
options convert.
