Hello again,

there are now packages of CPS 3.5.1-rc2 for GNU/Linux systems Debian
stable (lenny) and Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) on my convenience apt
repository. It's incredibly faster to get a test instance with them and
they provide utilities to make more instances.

It is mandatory to read the repository setup instructions first, and
please don't skip the warning.
 http://www.racinet.fr/index.php?pages/Debian-package.

That being said, the result is rather neat. Once the repositories have
been set up, one gets a running instance in one shot:
 aptitude install opt-zope-cps-3.5
That command just ran for me in two and half minutes (including one of
download) on a mint-fresh lenny VM.

Quoting from the package:

The test instance has no CPS user at all (you should create one), The
ZMI toplevel admin account is:
 login: admin
 pass: admin

The packages are also a bit cleaner than those I made for 3.5.0. In
particular, they are intended to allow automatic upgrades (test instance
only) from 3.5.1rc2 up with them.
Use the mkcpsinstance script if you need to make a more serious
instance, and do the upgrades manually.

Ubuntu versions
---------------
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid) does not ship with python 2.4, so providing a
working .deb would mean to repackage the whole 2.4 stack, which is
definitely too much work for now.
There are recipes online to use karmic's version of python 2.4 within a
lucid installation. In principle, the karmic package for CPS should work
after that, but this is far from rock-solid.

In karmic already, I had to provide python 2.4 packages for a couple
libraries.

By contrast, it's probably quite simpler to provide opt-zope-cps-3.5 for
8.04LTS and 9.04.

Debian versions
---------------
The same problems than Ubuntu 10.04 will start with squeeze (the current
testing).

I believe etch (current oldstable) versions would also be easy to make,
if someone asks.

Cheers,
