Don't do what? I was about to agree, as I don't think re-releasing under the same version number was correct: the new releases should be 2.9.7.1, 2.10.3.1, or something similary (or bump to 2.9.8, 2.10.4). > this bug is so obvious to catch that I have some serious doubts about > your software testing process. are you releasing totally untested code? > can we trust your releases in the future, will you change sth in your > process? The testing that gets done is not done from "released" tarballs, but from subversion checkouts. This was a bug in the process that created the tarball from a checkout, and not in the underlying Zope software itself. I *think* it also affected only those who build and install Zope as root, although I can't tell for sure, since the tarballs have been replaced. At any rate, I *never* build, install, or run Zope as root, and hence would never have noticed the problem, even if I were doing the releases myself. > Releasing software as a security fix that does not even start makes you > look like a moron, I am sorry to say. Too harsh. Certainly nobody likes having released a "brown bagger", but mistakes do happen.
