Plone 5 on Zope 4

Note

Obsolete There is a buildout.coredev PLIP configuration, which should be used instead of this repository: https://github.com/plone/buildout.coredev/blob/5.0/plips/plip-zope4.cfg

Demo of Plone running on Zope 4.

Note

Zope 4.0a1 removed bobobase_modification_time from Persistence.Persistent. If you want to install Plone 5 on Zope 4, you have to open the @@plone-addsite script directly. The ZMI is currently broken - probably because of Products.ExternalEditor.

Warning

Don't use this in production!
