Cool. And maybe some apt-get functionality? Like 'zope-apt-get dist-upgrade'? :-) uh, Jerome ? Hey, uh, me and the folks on the list think there's this one little extra that would make zshell perfect.. :)

Sorry for being late, I hadn't yet subscribed to this list. I'd love to do this, however it seems to be very difficult until a standard Zope package file format exists. See my posts on this subject on zope@zope.org However I think a "shell" command could help, e.g. in ZShell dialog box you'd type something like: shell apt-get update shell apt-get upgrade This would do it, but you'll need to have an apt-get wrapper which would have to be setuid root, so this would be very dangerous. the best solution is of course to standardize on one file format, and tweak Distutils to do what we want, then adding "zope-apt-get" to ZShell (or why not directly to Zope) will be trivial. bye, Jerome Alet
