I uploaded corrected versions of the Zope 2.9.7 and 2.10.3 tar-balls.
The tar-balls released yesterday contained a bug that caused
a startup failure when using "zopectl start".

Don't do what? I was about to agree, as I don't think re-releasing
under the same version number was correct: the new releases should be
2.9.7.1, 2.10.3.1, or something similary (or bump to 2.9.8, 2.10.4).

The testing that gets done is not done from "released" tarballs, but
from subversion checkouts. This was a bug in the process that created
the tarball from a checkout, and not in the underlying Zope software
itself. I *think* it also affected only those who build and install
Zope as root, although I can't tell for sure, since the tarballs have
been replaced. At any rate, I *never* build, install, or run Zope as
root, and hence would never have noticed the problem, even if I were
doing the releases myself.

Too harsh. Certainly nobody likes having released a "brown bagger", but
mistakes do happen.
