I wonder why zope.dottedname isn't being used here either?

 How to run these kind of big test run now-a-days, any pointer ?

The 'compattest' suff which the sprinters added last month would be a
place to start:  it runs the tests for dependency packages using your
locally modified package.

Re: [Zope-dev] Dependency of zope.deprecation in zope.configuration

2009-03-05 Thread Martijn Faassen
Hi there,

Baiju, much thanks for looking into this. I hope we can indeed get rid 
of this code.

I myself have the suspicion that the deprecation system is perhaps a 
'false optimum' in most cases. Putting in deprecations tends to be quite 
a bit of work (as it's a code change), the warnings weren't always very 
instructive in the past, and we haven't done a good job of removing 
deprecations over time.

Instead it might be better if we use that energy to provide better 
documentation about changes and what to do in plain text. Code might 
break where the deprecation system would provide a backwards 
compatibility warning, but perhaps that's a faster and easier way to get 
people to update their code.

For deprecated import locations I recommend we just put in a backwards 
compatibility import (no deprecation system) and use a combination of 
documentation and the enhanced test runner which can report about 
indirect imports.

Perhaps there are other cases where the deprecation system is of use, 
but I myself am quite inclined to see about ripping it out and see what 
happens.

If you can't get it to work right for you (it's tricky business to get 
it set up), or have any other suggestions for improving it, please start 
a thread here. I'll get the right people to listen.

Regards,

Martijn
