[Zope-dev] Merge zc.copy with zope.copypastemove and zope.location.

[Dan Korostelev]

Okay. I prepared the "zope.copy" package in the SVN for you to check
out what I mean. :)

> After looking at the whole copy thing for some more time, I thought
> that it even makes sense to extract the object cloning functionality
> to some "zope.copy" (or even "zope.persistentcopy") package that will
> contain clone and copy functions as well as ICopyHook mechanism, but
> won't contain IObjectCopier implementation, because the "clone" and
> "copy" functions from zc.copy are useful without any container
> context. Then zope.copypastemove and zope.location could just depend
> on the zope.copy, so we won't introduce many dependencies for
> zope.location and make people able to easily copy persistent objects
> w/o installing on zope.copypastemove or even zope.location.

>> The README.txt of zc.copy says that the components, provided by this
>> package is apropriate for inclusion in Zope itself.

>> The package provides a more pluggable mechanism for copying generic
>> persistent objects (not only ILocation's) as well as a way to register
>> post-copy hooks to be executed, which is very useful, for example when
>> dealing with persistent objects that have non-ZODB bits (like
>> filesystem based files related and so on). However, the package is
>> really small and mostly contains modified copies of
>> zope.copypastemove's ObjectCopier and zope.location's locationCopy.
>>
>> So, I propose to merge the zc.copy package's changes with original
>> zope.copypastemove/zope.location and deprecate it. If noone objects,
>> I'll do that myself.
