Discussion

Minutes of last meeting

  • The minutes of the last meeting were principally agreed on.

Tasks

  • BB-1.0b3 uses the ZTK release.

  • The checkversions script includes “prefer-final” now.

  • http://buildbot.afpy.org/discover-ztk1.0/waterfall is a buildbot that will continuously build a working list and a blacklist.

  • Windows slaves have been added to the buildslaves overview.

Deprecation of packages in the ZTK

  • We’ll deprecate every zope.app.* package not used by any framework according to http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit/releaseteam/package-usage.html from the ZTK.

  • We’ll deprecate zope.documenttemplate from the ZTK.

  • We’ll consider renaming zope.app.wsgi to zope.wsgi.

  • We’ll need to investigate to split up zope.app.appsetup into zope.appsetup and Grok- and BB-specifics. zope.appsetup could then be part of the ZTK.

  • We’ll leave zope.server in the ZTK for 1.0 and reconsider for 1.1.

  • There’s still a series of test failures on the Windows platform. A 1.0 release should see all tests pass on all chosen platforms though. This requires some work to be done.

Tasks

  • Add a remark about the discover-ztk buildbot to the release-procedures.rst file [ccomb].

  • Change to *.cfg’s for deprecating the packages [hannosch].

  • Request download.zope.org access from Jens Vagepohl [j-w].

  • Next alpha release planned for 08/23 16:00 (CEST) [hannosch, j-w].

Open points

  • Will Windows test failures for the ZTK block a beta?

Next meeting

Next meeting is scheduled for August 24 16:00 (CEST) on #zope.
