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
