 |
|
Hi all!
I am having some trouble about maintaining my zope products up-to-date.
Zope products ebuilds install into /usr/share/zproduct/productname-version/ProductName.
This structure is problematic - it is impossible to add the line "products /usr/share/zproducts" to zope.conf, since zope searches for it in /usr/share/zproduct/ProductName.
To resolve it, I ended up with creating many symlinks from my zope instance. For example I have: /var/lib/zope/zope-2.7.2/Products/CMFCore -> /usr/share/zproduct/cmf-1.4.7/CMFCore.
The problem is that everytime each of these products is updated, the symbolic links break, since the old versions are automatically removed.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? |

It's not well-documented, but the "Gentoo Way" for installing Zope Products is | Code: | # emerge [the Product]
# zprod-manager add |
Then select your product (usually all of them that are not selected) and install them.
If you have done that and still have those problems, then I'd suggest backing up your Data.fs file to somewhere safe, unemerge Zope and all Products and start over with the procedure above. Then move your Data.fs file back to your instance directory and restart Zope.
You should not have to make these symlinks. That's not how it's intended to work with the Zope Product installs.
HTH,

Symlinks work, but due to the fact that you can have many instances of many versions of zope, you should have _copies_ of products in each instance. do not use symlinks or it will bite You at some point of time.
if you have default instance set (zope-config --zidef-set) which you can check on 'cat /var/lib/zope/.default' and you have emerge zprod-manager, then after emerging any zope product, it will be copied into default instance.
please test also zprod-manager-0.2 it has some bugfixes. |
