[Framework-Team] PLIPs 7822 (blob support) and 9316 (unified folders) ready for review...

[Andreas Zeidler]

hi framework team,

here's a heads-up regarding my PLIPs:

     #7822: Make standard file content types use ZODB BLOB support
     #9316: Unify folder implementations

both PLIPs still need upgrades and fixes wrt plone 4.0, but are in a  
reviewable state nevertheless.  or so i think.  the main reason for  
this is that the packages behind these PLIPs —  
`plone.app.blob`(+`plone.app.imaging`) and `plone.folder` 
+`plone.app.folder` — were originally developed as add-ons for plone  
3.x.  all of them are in a near-finished state as such, and are (or  
will be as of wednesday) in production use.

however, changes in the way the test setup works in zope 2.12 (the  
`custom_zodb.py` trick doesn't seem to be supported anymore) as well  
as a project deadline have so far prevented me from making the  
necessary fixes regarding plone 4.0.  as the functionality provided  
will not change anymore, i think an initial review could already be  
conducted anyway.

i've update the respective PLIP tickets to reflect the current state,  
and will add review notes as well as make the necessary fixes to let  
the tests pass again asap.  iow, sorry about being late!  i hope you  
will accept the state of the PLIP packages wrt plone 3.x as a good  
enough reason to consider reviewing them and allow me a few more days  
to catch up with the upgrades made for plone 4.0.

regards,


andi
