[Zope-dev] Crash & Burn with Zope 2.6.0a1 and ZEO 2.0a1

[Stefan H. Holek]

I have failed as well to upgrade a Zope 2.5.1/ZEO 1.0 installation to 
2.6.0a1. I tried to start *the very same instance* that runs successfully 
under 2.5.1 with 2.6.0a1. This is what I found out:

* The Catalog problem you see comes from 
Products.PluginIndexes.TextIndex.Splitter.ZopeSplitter not exporting 
'Splitter' anymore. I should really have been kept for bw compatibility. 
Workaround is to copy ZopeSplitter's __init__.py from 2.5.1.

* ZEO 1.0 ClientStorage does not work and I have no clue why it would not 
find trigger.py anymore. Do I *need* ZEO 2.0a1 for 2.6.0a1? There is 
nothing in the release notes.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Zope-2.6.0a1/z2.py", line 832, in ?
    asyncore.loop()
  File "/Zope-2.6.0a1/lib/python/ThreadedAsync/LoopCallback.py", line 100, 
in loop
    _start_loop(map)
  File "/Zope-2.6.0a1/lib/python/ThreadedAsync/LoopCallback.py", line 70,

becomeAsync
  File "/home/zeo6/lib/python/ZEO/ClientStorage.py", line 556, in getWakeup
ImportError: No module named trigger

* Formulator
Formulator failed to install due to ZODB conflict errors until I put 
get_transaction.commit() into Formulator's initialize(); twice, after the 
help registrations.

* New Startup:
Will the new startup stuff also be available for ther ZEO server's 
start.py? Until 2.5.1 I was able to run ZEO server & client in-place (from 
the same directory). This is harder with 2.6.0. I needed some file 
permission trickery (which defeats many of the benefits of the new startup) 
to make it work.

* Besides:
Z2.pid is created very late. I cannot ./stop a half-started Instance (not 
even a ZEO client waiting for the server!). Could we create the pid file 
earlier?

Rgds,
Stefan
