hi,
	we have installed MacOSX plone 2.0.5 package.

	I think the plone installer package itself contains its
zope version  
to run on.
	
	Currently we are facing a typical problem.
	
	we want to upgrade plone and zope to newer versions, 2.1.2
and 2.8.5  
respectively, without loosing any data currently present.

	I got some info about updating  plone, but how to we
upgrade zope?

	And which upgrade should be done first?


									with rgds,
									Ramy.

Presumably you've read this :

http://p
lone.org/documentation/migration/2.1

That document recommends you do the Plone migration on Zope
2.7.x before 
you upgrade from Zope 2.7.x to Zope 2.8.x.

Personally, I tried both and found we had less problems
going straight 
from Zope 2.7.8/Plone 2.0.5 to Zope 2.8.5/Plone 2.1.2 all in
one go, but 
our experience may be unusual.

There is no specific step I know of to "upgrade
Zope". You simply copy 
the Data.fs file from your old site, into the /var directory
of the new 
Zope instance, make sure the Products directory contains the
new Plone 
2.1.2, start it up, go to the ZMI and do portal_migration.

If Plone 2.1.2 doesn't come with a Mac OS X package
including Zope, 
here's how to get Zope on its own :

Hope that helps,
Nick
