Just talking to several Zope/FreeBSD users on IRC, and we thought a bit of a revamp for this port is in order. Some background: Zope is a extensible application server created by Digital Creations. As this, it heavily relies on plug-ins, called "Products" in Zope lingo. I.e. there is a product called "SquishDot" which will turn a zope server into a Slashdot like forum within minutes. There are other products (Shopping carts, Portal Site kit, an Auction site etc, you name it, the total number of usable products is ~ 50) which don't come with a Zope distribution per se, but can be installed rather easily. In addition, there is a "Super" zope server (called ZEO) just around the corner. In order to make all that easily install-able and accessible from within FreeBSD, I thought of using the ports system. For that I would have to create a separate zope section (/usr/ports/zope). Is that something which sounds feasible ? If so, I'll submit a patch for the upcoming Zope-2.2.0 release with that functionality. -Th To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
