ZTK meeting - 2010-11-23¶

Attendance¶

j-w, hannosch, ccomb.

j-w moved the zope.app.* packages to the deprecated-section.
There was a short discussion on zope-dev about using distribute versus setuptools. The releaseteam conclusion was not to introduce any (implicit) dependencies on either. Hanno suggested to test the ZTK packages for (unintentional) dependencies on distribute.
There’re a few ZTK packages trunks that refer to yet-unreleased versions of their dependencies. This means, these trunk a hard to release, but more importantly, these packages will not be easily testable in buildbots.

Various options were discussed including: using mr.developer and its auto-checkout features, refrain from testing trunks in buildbot or have developments done on a packages that requires a new release of a dependency, done on development branches. This latter seems to be the sensible approach.

J-w will make a list of packages trunks that have this issue.

Check for ZTK packages that would rely on distribute [hannosch]
Check for package trunks that rely on yet unreleased version of its dependencies [j-w]
Update the version in the ZTK [ccomb]

Next meeting is scheduled for December 7th 20:30 (CET) on #zope.
