Cool! Last I saw, Andreas was planning to release Zope 2.7.7b1 this Sunday (3 July), if you want some practice <wink>. I'm pretty sure Mark already understands the Zope Windows-installer build process about as well as anyone. If not, I'm happy to help. For someone who runs on Windows routinely, the machinery usually works smoothly. It can be a bear when it doesn't. One predictable problem is that Zope's setup.py gets out of date over time, because people run Zope tests from CVS or SVN checkouts "in place", and the repackaging done by setup.py for an installation never gets tested that way. It's broken then for all platforms, but typically whoever builds the WIndows installer is the first to _notice_ it. For a micro release (like 2.7.6 -> 2.7.7) a problem there is unlikely. _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
