"Old" news will become "new" news again, when the next micro release in the ZODB 3.5 line is made. 3.5.1 is current. All changes made now on the 3.5 branch will eventually show up in a 3.5.2 release, and NEWS.txt on the 3.5 branch should be changed to record those changes as they're made (the idea that a "release manager" is going to dig thru ZODB history to do this at the last second before a release is a fantasy -- won't happen). BTW, merges to NEWS-like files generally don't work well across branches. What to do instead: - Do the merge. - Do "svn revert NEWS.txt" to throw away the botched merged on that single file. - Edit NEWS.txt by hand, inserting branch-appropriate NEWS for what changed in the rest of the merge. Usually this amounts to just copying paragraphs from one NEWS.txt to another, changing version numbers in an obvious way. ___ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev

I think that's an excellent idea -- especially since the Zopes were fiddled recently to run far fewer tests. That means, in particular, that there's no longer any regular testing of ZODB (ZODB's test suite used to get run as part of running the Zope 2 and Zope 3 tests, but not anymore). ___ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev

Yes.

It's more likely due to people fiddling with zpkg. "setup.py build" _had_
worked fine for running the tests for years, and I know it still worked fine
a few months ago. But I don't normally do that, so didn't notice when it
broke. It's not due to changes in ZODB code (no relevant changes have been
made there -- or at least none that I made ;-)). For whatever reason, looks
like "setup.py build" in ZODB simply ignores the existence of ZODB's
zope/testing directory now (but doesn't ignore ZODB's other zope/*
directories ...).

I was pulling your leg -- +1 means the same thing here as elsewhere ("strong
yes, to the extent that I'll least argue in favor of it").

It means adding the warning, documenting the deprecation in NEWS.txt, adding
a test to ensure that the deprecation warning is raised when appropriate,
and possibly a bunch of tedious hair to suppress the new warning(s) while
the tests that exercise the now-deprecated feature are running (while
deprecated, it's still supported until it goes away, so the tests for it
still need to run).
