I am a straggler returning to Zope after years away from it. I come from a time when to install a product into one's Zope one simply untarred it into one's Products folder and restarted. Now I am looking at easy_install, buildout, and the new mania for "eggs." Imagine my discomfiture.
But never mind all that. I now have a running instance of Zope 2.12.10 installed in NetBSD 5.1. I want to install CMF into it, which used to be one's first product chore (almost) since plone depended on it and I was heading for a plone install, (and later on ran Silva for a couple of years.) But I am here tonight to say, I am stumped.
How do get CMFCore into my zope instance "the right way?" Can someone lay out the steps for me?
My python is: /usr/pkg/bin/python2.6
My Zope is at: /usr/local/src/Zope2-2.12.10
My instance is at: /usr/local/Zopeish
I have banged around with easy_install, which writes things into my NetBSD /usr/pkg hierarchy, of which I very much disapprove. Buildout seems always to want to build the original gazillion (not complaining!) Zope packages every time I ry to use it.
So...glad to be back. Need help. Will write if I get work. Wish you were here.
nb. The running Zope instance is "live" on the net, so if one needs to examine my ZMI I can provide URL and login. Just ask, please.
