[Zope-dev] Re: command-line zope.org product upload ?

Hey, uh, me and the folks on the list think there's this one little extra that would make zshell perfect.. :) Sorry for being late, I hadn't yet subscribed to this list. I'd love to do this, however it seems to be very difficult until a standard Zope package file format exists. See my posts on this subject on [EMAIL PROTECTED] However I think a shell command could help, e.g. in ZShell dialog box you'd type something like: shell apt-get update shell apt-get upgrade This would do it, but you'll need to have an apt-get wrapper which would have to be setuid root, so this would be very dangerous. the best solution is of course to standardize on one file format, and tweak Distutils to do what we want, then adding zope-apt-get to ZShell (or why not directly to Zope) will be trivial. bye, Jerome Alet ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] Speed up the learning curve
A suggestion to cut the Zope learning curve down by half a day... When the programmer forgets the docstring in a method of a Python-based product, instead of saying Sorry, the requested resource does not exist. Zope could say: Sorry, this method has no docstring. Yes, I know this behaviour is well-documented. But the message gives no clue to lead the unwary newbie from the error to the documentation. There are so many useful things I could have done in this half day :-/ Regards, René Pijlman ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

If combine included install zwiki on your zope installation and use it then everything I know is wrong.. I did intend for that to be fairly danger-free. I'm not sure, I've fired off another email to get a clarification. While we're one the topic, I just read an article [1] over at Kuro5hin that could enlighten the management over at Digicool and us as well; it discusses the impacts of Free Software and relates it to Free Trade, talks about barriers and other interesting things. From the practical point of view, being able to use GPL-ed software with Zope is a Good Thing (TM) for most developers. Another thing is that some people / companies may be reluctant to add signifcant modules that could be included in the Zope core, as they will not get the same level of recognition for their work as Digital Creations would. For me personally, a Zope license without the advertising clause would motivate me, as the 'protection barrier' / 'restriction' / 'attribution issue' wouldn't be there; I have a ton of things I'd like to change in Zope and add to Zope, and as time goes by, the who-gets-credit-issue will undoubtedly be raised again, if we're so lucky that Digicool decides to open up Zope for read/write CVS access.
