Zope 2 Status
hi all,

I used to watch https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Zope2/ for Zope 2 updates. Last
version I updated to was 2.13.24.

Now this page offers version 4.0a2 - the a indicating alpha status - but

https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/2.13/CHANGES.html

announces an unreleased version 2.13.25. What does this mean?

Does Zope 2 still receive security updates? How can I stay informed?

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer

Yes, it still receives them. The 4.0a2 release you are seeing is part of
an ongoing "refresh Zope2" effort, driven by the Plone community and
friends. The 2.13.25 release you see in the docs hasn't yet been made:
your options to get to a supported state include a) running from the head
of the 2.13 branch (super stable at this point); or b) applying the
various hotfixes released by the Plone folks:

I think this break the intention of
https://zope.readthedocs.io/en/latest/WHATSNEW.html#version-numbering-increase
The package should be https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Zope4/

Great! What is the URL I watch for updates - the home of the 2.13 branch?

Because the package name https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope doesn't exists,
actually is using the number version (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope2)

Also
Zope4 break/drop compatibility with Zope 2
The page says it's version 4
Break the installion using pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.
com/zopefoundation/Zope/2.13.24/requirements.txt (see my other email)

You are right, it might look strange to have a Zope2 version 4.x.
But renaming the Package on PyPI would cause problems for all packages which depend on Zope 4.x, especially for the ones which are even compatible with Zope 2.x and 4.x.

@Hanno: What do you think about renaming the PyPI package to Zope?

And why not start a new package call "zope" (in PyPi) that it's really
version 4. it's alpha version so no many projects are using it.

As mentioned earlier in this thread: This would it make nearly impossible to support both Zope 2.x and Zope 4.x in a single release of a third party package using Zope. Requiring separate releases for Zope 2 and Zope 4 is painful enough for the Zope core itself. Requiring this for the whole ecosystem would decrease the chance of Zope 4 to be used at all.
