SIGs/Zope

Fedora Zope Special Interest Group

Missions

• To build all Zope related productive packages for each release of Fedora and EL.
• At least, to build Zope and Plone for EL6.

Prominent Packages

Zope2

Zope2 is the foundations and the first floors of this skyscraper.

Robin 'cheese' Lee is working on packaging Zope2 and a bunch of its dependencies.

You can find the spec files of those packages from a git: http://fedorapeople.org/gitweb?p=cheeselee/public_git/zope-rpm.git;a=tree;h=refs/heads/master;hb=master And the Zope2 yum repo here: http://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/yum/zope/ (only for F-13 and i686 and SRPM).

You can make a trivial test by these steps:

$ wget http://cheeselee.fedorapeople.org/yum/zope-cheese.repo
$ su -c "cp zope-cheese.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/"
$ su -c "yum install zope"
$ su -c "service zope start"
$ xdg-open http://localhost:8080/

Topics to discus

• Where to place the modules provided by the Zope2 source package itself
  • Candidates:
    • 1: a separate path like %{_libdir}/zope/lib/python
    • 2: %{python_sitearch}
  • This will decide where Products.* modules to be placed.
• Namespace virtual packages
  • Candidates:
    • 1: All directories of related namespaces are provided by a single package python-zope-filesystem.
    • 2: Each namespace provided a special virtual package.
  • This may affect wider practices of Python module packaging.
• How to package tests
  • Candidates:
    • 1: All tests will be ruled out from binary packages.
    • 2: tests are packages into a subpackage
    • 3: All tests are included with no regard to their requirements
    • 4: Only package the tests whose requirements are available in Fedora.
• Whether tests should be run in %check in spec files
  • Candidates:
    • 1: Should run all the tests whose requirements can be satisfied.
    • 2: Need not run tests
