Thanks for your replies Philipp and Brandon,Things are more clearly now :) So zopeproject _only_ deals with setting up the environment for you, when you run buildout eggs actually get installed. And, I don't need zopeproject on my hosting machine at all, I just test and develop on my personal machine and when ready, I install it as an egg on the host and run it.
Now I have the boring task of converting my old webapp done in 3.3.1 to an egg with all dependencies. Is there a way that can aid me in adding dependencies? As it is now I see this in front of me.. 1. Look at all imports to see what I need 2. Add them in configure.zcml with <include> 3. Add them in setup.py I can also see 'file="meta.zcml"' in some includes, how would I know when to specifically include a file or not? Having to look at the zope tree for files seems kind of awkward. Also, say that I use zope.foo.bar, how would I know wether to include zope.foo or zope.foo.bar as a dependency? I could do a simple search on pypi for this but it seems kind of time consuming. Lots of questions :) Thanks for your time Jesper On 11/5/07, Brandon Craig Rhodes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > "Jesper Petersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > I've looked a bit at zopeproject, but I'm still wondering if it's > > possible to still install zope as eggs without zopeproject (if that > > even makes sense). > > If I understand both "zopeproject" and your question (and I'm less > confident about whether I understand your question), then this might > be the answer you need: The "zopeproject" script is *not* designed to > install Zope.
