[Kss-devel] the getUtility acquisition issue, fix

[Balazs Ree]

Hi all,

I just posted an article on plone-devel 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.devel/14861/focus=14915
about how I fixed the getUtility acquisition error. In short, it's a big 
problem. The fix itself is a big hack and obviously the problem needs to 
be addressed properly on the right level, but since this is not a kss 
related issue (only it manifested here), this is not our main 
responsibility.

The fix itself is here: 
https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/plonekss/five.localsitemanager/registry.py

Please test it out! (You have to overwrite the relevant file with it.)

The problem is, I have no access to the zope svn so I cannot commit it 
there, maybe someone can help? Don't forget, another sprint is coming in 
one week and people need to be able to work.

The issue opens another question. Obviously, at one point someone 
committed something to Five / Plone without realizing that it is broken 
code. This should not have happened at the first place.
Did it or did it not break our tests? If no, we need tests against this. 
If yes, how could this happen, ie. why do people check in code that break 
tests, and how can we make sure this cannot happen again?
