Discussion

Minutes of last meeting

  • The minutes of the last meeting were not finished in time.

Tasks

  • Hannosch will try to work on a landing page for download.zope.org.

  • Hannosch, with the help of icemac, have been working on fixing test dependencies for the ZTK 1.0. There is some work left. Of specific interest is the zope.app.interface package that BB currently depends on.

  • There’s a lack of overview over the various buildbots that test the ZTK (in various profiles). It was suggested to add an svn info step to the builds. This will provide enough information for reproducing (failed) builds in order to effectively fix issues. Agrozer volunteered to ask the various buildbot maintainers to add such a build step.

  • In these cases where a package breaks the ZTK builds, a maintenance branch for that package will be created.

  • Once the ZTK 1.0 released and work for 1.1 is undertaken, even more of the zope.app.* packages will be deprecated. Especially in the area of test dependencies. It was noted that zope.component.testlayer, zope.app.wsgi.testlayer and zope.app.appsetup.testlayer have test infrastructure that could help migrating away from zope.app.testing and zope.app.zcmlfiles. These testlayer modules were created by Martijn Faassen and Sylvian Viollon during the two “zapp zope.app” Grok sprints.
