[Zope-PTK] PTKBase - Broken Product in latest CVS

I'm doing a fresh install of ZopePTK on a likewise fresh installation of
Zope 2.1.4. I download the latest CVS release and copied the PTKBase/
PTKDemo/ and LoginManager/ directories to lib/python/Producs and fired up
the server. The products were all listed correctly. I then shut down and
restarted the server and tried to import the DemoPortal.zexp file. It
gave me an error regarding the PTKBase product:

Error Type: SystemError
Error Value: Failed to import class _ZClass_for_PortalObjectBase from
module Products.PTKBase

I then went into the Products folder and saw that the PTKBase product was
described as "Borken product PTKBase." Whoops! Anyone else have this
problem with the latest CVS? The other two products appear to be fine. I
compared the current PTKBase directory with one from an older installation
I have, and there seems to be much fewer files in this latest release.
Anyways, just wondering if perhaps the installation procedure has changed
since I last did an install (at least it hasn't according to the site) or
if this is something that actually needs to be fixed.

Thanks.

Whoops indeed! Hmm. It's fine locally, but that doesn't mean I
haven't somehow messed up the CVS (forgot an add or some such
thing). I've recently moved a few files around. Try this, in your
ZopePTK directory:

$ cvs up -Pd

'-d' is the significant option. It tells CVS to fetch any new
directories which have been added to the CVS. If you don't specify it,
they are silently skipped. I think this might be significant, as I only
just moved the DTML to a new directory.

Let me know either way!

TIA,
Mike.

It was my fault-- I forgot to add 'file.gif'. Try an update and you
should be okay.
