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.
