Hi, I am getting tired of manually downloading packages, esp. since I access my server remotely, and it's a pain to have to telnet to do the job, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a control panel to download and install products automatically. You would just provide the URL of the product tarball, and that would be it. If this thing works, then what about adding an automatic install button on the zope Products pages. Your Zope member info could contain the name(s) of your server(s), and the install button would just link to something of the kind: http://yourserver.org/install?http://www.zope.org/.../stuff.tgz Wouldn't that be cool? Anyway, I am trying to do this, but since this is my first serious Zope thing, I would need some help. Here are my questions: - Can I add something to the ApplicationManager? How do I do this? - Another way would be to add an entry to the manage_options of the ProductFolder, but again, I have no clue on how to do that. - How should I package my thing? In a Product or some external method or something else? Product seems to be cleaner, but I really haven't seen anything like what I want to do... Any suggestions are welcome. Altough I am a newbie, I am good at learning from examples, so feel free to throw sample code at me from similar projects, or just give me some pointers to code/doc/faq. Thanks, Stefan.
