[Zope-Annce] z3c.rml 0.5 released!
I am very proud to announce the release of z3c.rml version 0.5, an independent implementation of the ReportLab Markup Language (RML). RML is a XML dialect that describes the generation of a PDF using the ReportLab PDF generation library. This release focuses on compatibility with the RML version developed by ReportLab, Inc. In the future, however, the plan is to divert from the original API to fix inconsistencies between the RML Specification and the ReportLab API and to extend beyond the original functionality. Features - Full support of all common RML directives. - Support for merging in pages from external PDF files thanks to pyPdf. - Directives are fully documented using an extension to Zope's interfaces and schemas. - Code-generated DTD file. - Code-generated RML Reference document, of course as PDF built with z3c.rml. - Optional integration of page templates, allowing dynamic RML documents to be created. - Support for charts. - Test suite with 90 files. Roadmap to 1.0 -- - Fix inconsistencies between ReportLab and RML APIs. - Finish the documentation of the chart support. - Finish the page insert and merge functionality. - Improve the DTD generator and possibly write a generator for RelaxNG. - Integration of a hyphenation support, if a proper package can be found. Installation z3c.rml has been uploaded to the Python cheese shop. Thus you should only need to say: easy_install z3c.rml Unfortunately, easy install will not install the ``reportlab`` dependency, since it is not available in the cheese shop. This will have to be done by hand. Also, by default the pagetemplate support is not enabled, because of the many dependencies. However, if you want the pagetemplate support, you can simply install it or install the zope.pagetemplate egg.

[Zope] about LocalFS
Dears, Just checking and maybe looking for some advices. My application in Zope depends on LocalFS. I want to make my application reproducible at other Zope servers. My question is if LocalFS is still maintained and under developed and if so is there any other version newer than http://www.easyleading.org/Downloads/LocalFS-1.7rc1-andreas.tar.gz/view? In order to still use LocalFS I need to hack in its code and it's not such a thing I would like to request to another user to do if he/she wants to do my application. If I have to move from LocalFS, which other product would replace it keeping at least LocalFS features? Many thanks in advance.

Re: [Zope] Making pythonscript changes to formulator fields persistent
I was thinking of that... How would you do that? Do you know formulator enough to say? I don't know your use case good enough. Is this just changing attributes of formulator fields? Put the whole thing in the EM, or something simpler? An EM I could just hand off the field object to, to get persisted? I don't understand what you mean. Field objects already are persistent. EM gives you no security restrictions in comparision to Script Python. In general to simply change field.values['required'] to false I'd write function to traverse through ZODB to find all FormulatorForm objects and it's fields. (I find it a bit cumbersome to develop in EMs, reloading and all, so I tend to avoid it.) With ExternalMethod you only have to hit save button again to refresh it. Simple external method code that you may use to traverse through ZODB: def checkFolder(self, fld): for obj_name, obj in fld.objectItems( 'FormulatorForm' ): # get form fields here etc for fld_name,fld_obj in fld.objectItems( 'Folder' ): checkFolder( fld_obj ) for fld_name,fld_obj in fld.objectItems( 'Folder (Ordered)' ): checkFolder( fld_obj ) I'm not sure about 'FormulatorForm', this may be 'Formulator Form' or something like that. -- Maciej Wisniowski ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

Since I have decided to abandon the old machine now I won't bother to investigate why the data disappeared. What is the lesson learned? That when you are using an old (2.6.2) version of Zope there is an increased likelihood of something bad happening. Strictly speaking, your *first* problem was in running 2.6.*2*, rather than 2.6.4 (the latest stable release in the 2.6 line). That one should've been a no brainer, just do it upgrade, with fairly minimal testing. The changelogs for 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 contain a large number of bugfixes, many of which had important security or stability implications. Upgrading acros *major* versions (from 2.6.x to 2.7.x, for instance) is potentially much riskier, and should normally require more careful change management, as the chance that your third-party or custom code might break during the upgrade is much higher. For best support from the community, you really need to be running the latest stable version of a release line which is still in maintenance: at this point, 2.8.x is just about at EOL, so finding a way to migrate to 2.9.x soon would be your best bet. I would advise doing that stepwise, moving across one major release line at a time. Presumably Zope 2 gets more stable with later versions. So use Yum to upgrade Zope 2 regularly. I can't say for sure what happened in your case: that you used yum to upgrade suggsests that you were also running with the RPM-supplied version of Python. For the 2.6.x line, that would've been a Python 2.1.3 or 2.1.4: the system verions of those Python's on RH-derived boxes were not built with large-file support enabled, which might explain the symptom you saw (rollowver on the 2Gb file size limit). Python 2.2 and later built with LFS enabled by default on almost all platforms, and thus would not have been subject to the wraparound. Thus, most old hands never run with the '/usr/bin/python' supplied by their distribution for production Zope use, but rather build a separate Python which is used only to run Zope.
