Questions about the installer, packaging
I'm investigating the creation of an RPM for Fedora, but I'd like to get some info before I dive too deeply... 1) It seems like the packaging list is defunct, or at least hasn't had anything but SPAM since 2003. Is there an appropriate list to discuss packaging issues (zope-dev perhaps)? 2) Is there any documentation on the installer options to help with placing things in the "correct" distro specific directories? --Tim _____________________________________________________________ < Z.O.I.D.: Zombie Optimized for Infiltration and Destruction > ------------------------------------------------------------- \ \ \ \ /\ ( ) .( o ).

zope-dev. The source code release is just a tar archive of the source tree which is sufficient for building Zope.
2) Is there any documentation on the installer options to help with placing things in the "correct" distro specific directories?
The Zope distributions (except for Windows) don't care about distro-specific needs (and never will). Andreas

Under the covers, the Zope makefile is using the distutils infrastructure, via its 'setup.py' script. You can see the arguments used by the two commands via:: $ /path/to/python setup.py build --help and:: $ /path/to/python setup.py install --help Tres. - -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 tseaver@palladion.com Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH48aq+gerLs4ltQ4RAqMJAJ9dat4tsfU760puNxnuazoiX1yQ/ACfcHJR aej1z6rahMyOMxw68eQsK0I= =iUU8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
