The general solution for this is File System directory views which make zope objects directly off the file system. This comes with the CMF, and has also been released standalone by a community member. -Casey On Tue, 22 Oct 2002 13:27:21 +0100 Alexander Jerusalem <ajeru@vknn.org> wrote:

Hi all,

I'm thinking about using Zope for the next version of the content management/e-learning platform that my organisation is building. The features of Zope are quite awsome. What I have not been able to make sure from the online documentation is if the development, version control and deployment scenario that we are currently using is possible with Zope. Our development team is dispersed across europe so:

* Each of us has a development server at their work place * We all check the source files into a sourceforge CVS system. * We update the production server directly from the sourceforge CVS with a script.

My question is, if this is a viable solution with Zope. I'm concerned that it might be a problem because I'm not sure if all tasks concerning source files like page templates, python scripts, etc can be done without using the Zope management interface. A solution where we'd have to use the Zope management interface would also be ok as long as it can be done for all changed/added/delete files at once. What I don't want to do is touch each and every added or changed file to import it into Zope.

I would very much appreciate any comment or link to some how-to.
