Hi,
Today, Gaël and me tested the package of Zope 1.12[0] following the IRC
meeting where it has been decided to have a tarball containing all the
dependencies[1].
Besides of minor changes committed in that repository, the package seems
to work very well as I was able to create an instance without any glitch
(Kudos to Michael Mulich, Jonas Meurer, Fabio Tranchitella and Bernd
Zeimetz for their great work on the package!).
So, as I'm quite new to Zope packaging, I'm wondering what are the
remaining things to do before actually uploading the package? Are there
any remaining important issues to address?
Also, I have a question which may sound stupid though: how do you find
out which Python modules to include directly into the tarball and the
ones which should be put into Depends field? I thought it might be
related to comments in the buildout recipes where it is stated which
module APIs are not backward compatible anymore and will break... Or is
it by just comparing the versions in Debian and the buildout recipe, and
if newer, then add them to the tarball after checking that it's not
actually working? Any hint?
Thanks much!
Cheers,
