[Zope3-dev] Re: Packaging pre-proposal/notes

[Stephan Richter]

HI,

I am not quoting anyone here, because I want to take the discussion one step 
back.

The reason we suggested folder and folder_web in the first place was to make 
it easier to develop new UIs. And this in turn was born from the problem that 
it was not easy for us to deactivate the browser ZCML in a package. 
Therefore, I would really like to go back to

folder
folder/browser
...

and provide a ZCML way of saying

<disable>
  <include package="folder.browser" />
</disable>

This way, if you you develop a new UI you can just declare

<disable>
  <include package="folder.browser" />
</disable>
<include package="srichter.folder.browser" />

In my opinion this is much more sane than anything that we have discussed 
concerning this branch of the debate.

The rest of the packaging ideas, like factoring out components from zope.app 
and creating smaller confined packages with good dependency information and 
so on I really like.

Regards,
Stephan
