Circular dependency between p.a.z3cform and p.a.vocabularies

[gforcada]

Seems that we have still a few dependency cycles around :-/

According to @petschki we have one between plone.app.vocabularies and plone.app.z3cform

[petschki]

Details: if I add plone.app.vocabularies as install_requires to p.a.z3cform, this is the circle:

found edge plone.app.vocabularies -> plone.namedfile
found edge plone.namedfile -> plone.schemaeditor
found edge plone.schemaeditor -> plone.app.z3cform

I've found the following imports:

• plone.app.z3cform.widgets.singlecheckbox -> from plone.app.vocabularies.terms import TermWithDescription
• plone.app.vocabularies.images ->from plone.namedfile.interfaces import IAvailableSizes
• plone.namedfile.editor -> from plone.schemaeditor.fields import FieldFactory
• plone.schemaeditor -> from plone.app.z3cform.interfaces import IDateField, IDatetimeField

The last line could IMHO safely be changed to from zope.schema.interfaces import IDate, IDatetime which would untangle this circle ... I'll give it a try...

@mauritsvanrees not too pressuring, but I would very much like to have a way to update https://dist.plone.org/release/6.0-dev/constraints.txt somehow so when these fixes happen, we can see them soon on other packages that rely on that 🚀

Automating these processes would be great 🍀

@gforcada If you know what you are doing (which is usually the case ;-)) this would be the way:

$ ssh dist.plone.org
$ cd /var/www/dist.plone.org/release/6.0-dev/
# edit constraints.txt and versions.cfg

Or grab a copy, edit them locally, and scp them of course.

But you would need access to the dist.plone.org server. If @fredvd is still around, you should be able to give you access, or point you to someone else from the A/I team who can. I am happy for someone to grant you access.

Okay, this is not "automating these processes". ;-) But it may help get something unstuck if a release manager decides to go on vacation for a week, for example me tomorrow. :-D In a pinch, you can also ask Eric Steele to update a version pin there.

(If you get ssh access from someone and still can't get on the server, ask them which port you should use.)

This is fixed
