Does Debian's Zope package support updating an existing Zope site to a new version of Zope without disturbing the contents and products in the site?
In general, yes. At least I've done any of half a dozen apt-get updates of Zope without anything breaking. This is of course apt's and dpkg's main claim to fame: network upgrades and installs that self configure and deliver working systems. -- J C Lawrence Home: claw@kanga.nu ----------(*) Other: coder@kanga.nu --=| A man is as sane as he is dangerous to his environment |=--

when you upgrade the packaging system makes sure zope is stopped, then all the files (apart from configuration ones) are removed (note that Data.fs is not in the package, so it is left untouched) and replaced by new ones. then daemons (zope) are restarted. voila'. a working system after upgrade. ciao, federico p.s. if it does not work it is not my fault, ok? :) -- Federico Di Gregorio MIXAD LIVE System Programmer fog@mixadlive.com Debian GNU/Linux Developer & Italian Press Contact fog@debian.org Best friends are often failed lovers. -- Me
