Discussion

Minutes of last meeting

Buildslaves testing the ZTK on required platforms

  • There have been a number of buildbot-slaves setup already. The reports of these slaves should be sent to zope-test. The mail-subject needs to be foramtted propely for this to work. j-w will coordinate with Jan-Jaap.

  • We still need slaves for 64-bit Windows. Work is underway to obtain the correct Windows licenses.

  • ccomb has setup a buildbot for testing ZTK against released packages (not SVN) on 32-bit linux. He will wake it up and have the reports send to zope- test as well.

Deprecating packages from ztk.cfg and zopeapp.cfg

  • There will be a deprecating.cfg where packages are moved from ztk.cfg and zopeapp.cfg.

  • The “under-review” and “unresolved-dependencies” sections need special scrutiny.

  • Tres Seaver posted a matrix depicting what ZTK packages are in use by what frameworks. Each of the represenatives will review the list of packages all three frameworks use. When putting the results together, this should result in a cleaned up ztk.cfg, a cleanup up zopeapp.cfg and a deprecating.cfg. [ccomb, hannosch, j-w]

ZTK-1.0

  • The release team will do an initial pass on splitting the package lists into ztk.cfg, zopeapp.cfg and deprecating.cfg to come to a stable set.

  • After this first round, we will declare the ZTK 1.0a1 to have a concrete starting point.

  • The ZTK-1.0 will be used from Grok-1.2 and BlueBream-1.1 on. The upcoming Grok-1.1 release will refer to a specific, slightly older, ZTK revision from SVN. Work is going on on Grok-1.2 already and is based on a very recent revision of the ZTK.

  • hannosch has access to http://download.zope.org/ztk/release/ for uploading the releases.

Tasks

  • We want 64bit Linux and Windows tests for the ZTK. j-w is bugging janjaap to create those. Maybe contact ccomb for adding slaves to “afpy”. We can resolve this issue when the build reports are comming in on zope-test. [j-w]

  • Make sure we have a buildbot testing the ZTK releases (and not SVN) [ccomb]

  • Each of the represenatives will review the list of packages all three frameworks use, as made by Tres. [ccomb, hannosch, j-w]

Open points

  • Look at and update http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit/about/coreextra.html for adding/removing policies, probably have a deprecated.cfg file

  • Decide on process for new feature versions and the process for going from 1.1.0 alpha to a final

  • the list for “extra” packages still needs to be defined, we could have a incoming.cfg and/or extra.cfg

Next meeting

2010-05-25, 14:00 to 15:00 UTC before the zope-dev meeting, in #zope
