Andreas, Zope doesn't "own" zdaemon.  zdaemon is (so far) *copied*
into Zope from repos/main/zdaemon/trunk/.  Checkins made to a zdaemon
copy from a client project (like Zope) have no effect on the zdaemon
code.  So, for example, the zdaemon trunk is still broken, the zdaemon
copies in Zope3 and in ZODB are still broken, and the changes you
checked in to Zope's copy are likely to get lost the next time someone
copies zdaemon into Zope.

The right way to fix this in Zope is:

1. Apply the patch to repos/main/zdaemon/trunk/.
2. Make a tag of zdaemon trunk.
3. Delete ("svn rm") Zope's copy of zdaemon and commit.
4. From a Zope checkout, "svn propedit svn:externals lib/python", and
   add a line naming the zdaemon tag you created in step #2.

That would make zdaemon like Zope's other external code (the ZopeX3
stuff, assorted ZODB directories, and ZConfig), and the existence of a
zdaemon tag (there isn't one now) would make it easy for other
projects (like Zope3 and ZODB) to use the _same_ zdaemon code.
