Much of Zope is written in C, thus compiled. There should be a deb for 2.3.0-4 at the very least for ppc under Deiban unstable (I installed this on my Mac/Linux laptop a few weeks ago). I know that the deb for i386 is now updated to 2.3.1-1, but I'm not sure how package maintainers ensure builds on all platforms on Debian (personally, I'd like to know, becuase I am planning on running Zope on Debian systems on both the intel and sparc platforms).
There are build daemons for each architecture which build packages from source if no binaries are uploaded for them. All reasonably sane packages propagate to all architectures within a few days, and looking at http://voltaire.debian.org/buildlogs/zope (voltaire is the machine running the powerpc buildd) it seems zope is sane. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper) \ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \ XFree86 and DRI project member
