Good, that's what we did.

Yes and no.  I made a zope.app.session 3.4 branch with no  
dependencies on zope.minmax.  That is what the tree currently uses.   
The tree also includes zope.minmax as an external; however, AIUI,  
during a distribution zope.minmax will not be included, so it should  
not cause you any problems, I hope (zope.bforest was in this boat for  
awhile, along with other packages I believe).

However, zope.app.session trunk has a dependency on zope.minmax,  
expressed both in setup.py and DEPENDENCIES.cfg (r77378).  So when  
the Zope distribution trunk switches to zope.app.session trunk, it  
will (correctly) begin to include zope.minmax in the distribution  
(and a tree checkout will work).

Right, I asked around about that, which is why we did the  
DEPENDENCIES.cfg thing for the zope.app.session trunk.  Was there  
something we missed?

Thanks
