Ok, tossing this around a bit I keep coming back to the issue of how to build this properly so it works right and is stable.
This is a rambling, as the thoughts come out kind of email so hopefully it will generate discussion about this. I will entertain any and all comments on this philosophy but *I* think the best thing to do is to build a completely standalone FreePM with all the requirements in one package. The reason is that the Zope, Python and Zope Products versions distributed with Debian are outside my control. A difference in version can and probably will break something. It is not always feasible to try and track multiple versions of multiple products. Since FreePM will be a major application where it will be used, it may very well be a good thing not to mix it with other Zope applications. The downside is that it will cause you to have two copies of Zope. That really shouldn't be an issue though if it is a binary install and uses it's own version of the Python interpreter as well. Extra disk space required is quite minimal really. The only conflict is the default port numbers which is easily taken care of with a FreePM specific start script. It would also give me more control over the entire Zope configuration which can make it easier to install FreePM and to troubleshoot problems over the mailing list because the default configuration for Zope will be known. I will need to take on the responsibility of notifying FreePM users of Zope security upgrades etc. Comments?
