This is a good idea to me, and it's worth of trying: there are olso other
packages which are included in Zope source for convenience (like ZPT, or ZEO)
for which we can try as well.
I do not agree on one thing though: the majority of Products for zope are
python source code and so they are architecture independent. That's quite the
same for other python modules. We should not store that files under /usr/lib but
under /usr/share as stated in FHS.
We should change python policy to include /usr/share directory in sys.path as
well as it was for /usr/local. (That would save at least 1/2 of python
policy).
Very well, I intend to open a alioth project for collaborative maintainership
of zope package and zope-related stuff. I most probably call it zope-packages
and i'll use it for other zope packages i maintain. Any other developer
joining will be apreciated.
ciao,
