Attendance

Agenda

• Discussion
• Tasks
• Planning the next meeting

Discussion

• 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.

Tasks

• 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

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