Upcoming zope release 2.8

[Gerhard Schmidt]

Hi, 

The zope comunity is up to release a new version of Zope. The problem is 
that there are some api changes that prevent some zope applications (e.g. 
plone 2.0.5) from running on zope 2.8. Plone 2.1 should fix this. Till 
than we have to maintain two sepearate zope ports. 

We have two ways of doing this. 

1. We start a new www/zope28 port right now with zope2.8b2 and continue 
zope2.7 as www/zope until all major zope appication are migrated to 2.8. 
Than we move www/zope to www/zope27. www/zope28 stays as it is. 

2. We wait until zope28 is released (sheduled for June 11th). than we 
copy www/zope to www/zope27 and update www/zope to version2.8 

I prefere method one, because it opens up the way for a zope3 port as well 
and means less work for maintainer of zope-based ports. They can move there
ports to 2.8 as there applications are ready. 

Bye
