[Pkg-zenoss-team] How much is left on the packaging?

right, except for the init scripts most stuff should be done yet.

as soon as everything works in Lenny, we'll provide backports for Etch
on backports.org. But first goal is to have stable and working packages
in Lenny.

more easy if you use svn-buildpackage:

svn checkout svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-zenoss/zenoss/trunk zenoss
mkdir tarballs
mkdir build-area
cd zenoss
debian/rules get-orig-source
svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot

all build-deps should be in experimental, same for all other missing
dependencies.

otherwise you could use /var/lib/zenoss/bin/zenoss (I think that was the
right  name, don't have an installation here at the moment)

probably just the reason why rrd does not work. I'll have a look into
that and add the directory to our zope skeleton.
