[Pkg-zope-developers] Zope testrunner.py

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I wanted to build new packages of zope-textindexng2. To support the
group maintainance effort I putted the zope packagers into the
uploaders field.  I decided that it is better to have a real
person in the Maintainer field instead of the group to have a
real person to talk to.

I have certain trouble to find the docs how to move the packaging
stuff into the arch repository.  The links maduck posted here
seemed to vanish.  So if someone wants to move my stuff to the
repository he can feel free to do so with the stuff I puttet at

     http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/zope-textindexng2/

Alternatively I would be happy about a short explanation how I could
do this myself.

These package do not install because

     /usr/lib/zope/utilities/testrunner.py

can not be found.  This file is part of the zope package which is not
needed for this version of zope-textindexng2 which depends from 2.7.
I had a look into the Ubuntu patch which circumvents the problem
by just not doing the test I did in the postinst which is no
optimal solution IMHO.

So my questions are:

    1. How can we enable the checks in the postinst to make
       sure that textindexng2 will work?
    2. When will the general zope-common infrastructure be
       available to move this kind of tools to a common place for
       all Zope versions (if possible at all).

Kind regards

          Andreas.
