the problem here is that Zenoss does not work on Zope 2.10 (it doesn't
even work on 2.9 - it seems to run fine, but it doesn't...). The
developers gave it a try to migrate it to Zope 2.10 but it was too much
work so they stopped it. Their plan is to move to Zope 3 or some other
Python framework, but there's no real progress unfortunately.
Shipping Zope 2.8 in Debian is not an option, neither do we want to
maintain such an old version, nor would the security team allow more
Zope versions.
It's a bit unfortunate as we spent a *lot* of time to get Zenoss into
Debian, so I'm really waiting for them to move to a recent application
framework.
Best regards,
Bernd
