[Zope-dev] Reminder : zope.app.authentication

[Souheil CHELFOUH]

I worked last month on the package `zope.app.authentication` that is
still very monolithic.
As a first step to refactor it and in order to cut dependencies, I
created and released the pluggable auth utility in a standalone
package : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.pluggableauth
This package, now, has to be used by zope.app.authentication. I did
that in a branch :
http://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zope.app.authentication/branches/zope.pluggableauth-trollfot/
Everything work as expected. I only removed what now lies in
zope.pluggableauth and used import to preserve the backward
compatibility.
I didn't remove or alter any tests, only to adapt the __repr__ of some
classes that are now moved.
Everything seems OK for a release.

So, the following steps would be : merge the branch with the trunk, if
there no complains. Then, release the new trunk as a 3.7.0 version.

Any feedback or insight is welcome.
If it's possible, I like to get the ownership on the
zope.app.authentication so I can proceed with the release.

Thank you
