Zope 2 depends on ZODB.Mount, which is going away

[Jim Fulton]

Zope 2.11 (and some earlier Zope 2 versions) use an untested Mount module in ZODB. This module never should have been in the ZODB package. Someone needs to move it to the Zope 2 tree. It will not be in ZODB 3.9 or later versions of ZODB.

Where is this module exactly?

It is in Mount.py in the ZODB package for ZODB 3.8 and earlier.

I have removed it from the ZODB trunk. (I removed it from the 3.8
branch, but put it back after Tres forwarded a resulting Zope 2 test
failure.)

The only think in Z2 which needs the module is Products.TemporaryFolder. I will copy
 the module from ZODB into that package (renaming it 'mount.py') and fix any tests
which break.

Now done on the Zope2 trunk:

  http://svn.zope.org/Zope/trunk/?rev=91724&view=rev

I can backport to the 2.11 branch if nobody thinks there are BBB implications
for third-party modules.

If we do backport the patch, then the ZODB 3.8 branch should be able drop the
ZODB.Mount module, as well as ZODB.POSExceptions.MountedStorageException.

I backported the change to the 2.10 branch:

 http://svn.zope.org/Zope/branches/2.10/?rev=100882&view=rev

and the 2.11 branch:

 http://svn.zope.org/Zope/branches/2.11/?rev=100881&view=rev

which should make it easier for folks to try using ZODB 3.9.x with the
earlier Zopes.
