Bug 185548 – net-zope/plone should use python-2.5's elementtree when it's possible

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) 2007-07-16 15:53:26 UTC]

Plone could be patched to support Python 2.5's built-in elementtree.

The patch is trivial, and it'd allow to use
|| ( >=dev-lang/python-2.5 dev-python/elementtree )

what about reporting it to the upstream? Any comments from them?

[Comment 3 Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) 2007-07-16 18:02:33 UTC]

Just reported upstream. No comments yet.

[Comment 4 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) 2007-07-16 18:11:09 UTC]

Great. thank you kindly.
I'll release updated plone ebuild this day or tomorrow (not planning version bump though). will let know by resolving bug.

oh, please post here url or bugid from their tracker if you dont mind.

Oh, wait.

Closed as invalid: "Zope does not support Python 2.5"

geee ;)
2.9 definitely does not work. 2.10 may work, but problem is that plone should work with any of them.

as to the #148333, zope will simply need separate python installation. I have to inspect if we have =dev-lang/python-2.4* which should do the trick. I don't think it should block python2.5 from leaving hard mask - or may I omit sth?

if you agree, please close the bug and remove dependency.

[Comment 7 Santiago M. Mola (RETIRED) 2007-07-16 19:02:19 UTC]

Ok. Closing this as Zope shouldn't block python-2.5 and upstream won't fix it.

This has never worked; you cannot compile stuff against 2.4 when 2.5 is installed.

[Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-07-16 19:46:48 UTC]

Seriously, this is not enhancement, this is a major problem blocking python-2.5 unmasking.

[Comment 10 Radoslaw Stachowiak (RETIRED) 2007-07-17 16:37:56 UTC]

Jakub, could you please describe me in detail how is it blocking unmasking python 2.5?

BTW: upstream will never change zope 2.9 to work python2.5.

This is not true. older zope installations very often were compiled again specified version of python and it worked fine.

Finally it's invalid. Sorry for the noise.
