Uh, so existing installations of grokproject are broken as well, as I
suspected yesterday. :-/

If someone releases a new grokcore.view, then we could release a new
grok egg. I think the current grokproject (and also older versions)
afterwards should run smoothly again, shouldn't they?

However, people that want to install a project with older Grok (up to
current 1.0a3) would still fail. They had (after buildout aborting the
install throwing nasty messages) have to pin down zope.container
manually.

So for all, that run into the zope.container/zope.lifecycleevent version
conflict with grokproject/grok: Add::

  zope.container = 3.8.1

to your versions.cfg or to the [versions] section in your buildout.cfg
and rerun buildout afterwards.

We could easily fix that problem for fresh installs by adding
zope.container to the already existing KnownGoodSet lists (aka
grok-n.nn.cfgs) on grok.zope.org/releaseinfo/. Then also installs of
older grok versions with grokproject would work again. I expect a good
load of opposition to this proposal but am willing to learn from your
arguments.

Best regards,
