Glad you are packaging for Debian - that was the thing I was about to look at. I'm the author of Zmake (a tool for building Zope & Python) and am currently extending it to Linux. This should allow easy cross-platform building of extensions for Debian and the three Windows compilers (VC, Cygwin and mingw32).
Thanks. Your build environment is in the list of things I wanted to look into but had not yet enough time ;-). Sounds like a nice solution for Windows. Though, I'm not sure how it will help me for Debian. Debian already comes with all necessary Python packages, and Zope builds like a charm ("python w_pcgi.py"), so the tricky part is to adopt the paths to FHS, write and init.d script and other cosmetic changes. Is there any point for Zmake here ? Perhaps I'm missing something.
It might be good to add the DTML guides as a separate zope-doc.deb
Yep. I think I'll package the guides in html format, zope-doc is certainly the name to go.
Would this option be a reasonable addition to z2.py ? Should I file a bug in the Collector ?
File as a feature but it won't go in until 2.0+ as Zope is currently under a feature freeze
Hmm, I was hoping to get a comment from someone @ DC. I will have to hack 2.0 anyway to add this feature, therefore I'd like to know if and how they would add this in the near future, or if Debian had to branch here with an incompatible option. Gregor
