OK, I asked previously about installing RPCAuth on Debian. I got no useful responses (thanks to Tres Seaver for passing my message on to the author, but they didn't get back to me). There is basically no documentation on this product, couldn't get it to install on either zope 2.7 on Debian (apparently stops entire zope instance from working) or Mac OS X (just never shows up - its in /Applications/Plone2/Sites/Default/Products/ along with other products, but can't see any evidence Zope knows its there). So, anyone managed to install this product, or know how to debug installation problems of this kind? I'm having a very mixed experience with Zope/Plone - I either get a lot done in a short time, or things don't work and I get stopped dead, with very little documentation or help as to how to proceed.
Because I know this list is archived - apparently there is no visible feedback (ie in Plone Setup, or any of the bits of ZMI that I looked in) for this product, and my problem with installation on Debian was disturbingly simple - after you have downloaded and unpacked it, you need to change the name of the folder from RPCAuth-0.4 to just RPCAuth. Most useful debugging technique is to start the Zope instance using runzope rather than zopectl. Regards David
