[Zope] Debian zope2.3.1 installation powerpc

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

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).

Bottom line, you do need a platform specific deb, or get the source install
and build it yourself.

According to the Python tutorial it is platform independent.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like
that.
