it has to be 2.1.2 speciffically. the newer versions (2.2.x) of python are not compatible with the current version of zope. this is why you relly would need a system-zope package which explicitely depends on python-2.1.1, even if you would install zope as third-party binary. (the only version of python in stable is 2.2) another related question: i have a package system-zope installed, which depends on python-2.1.2 and i want to rebuild python. when i execute fink rebuild python it rebuilds the newer version 2.2 which i can't install, anyway. how can i rebuild python-2.1.2? i even tried dpkg --purge --force-depends python; fink install python but this also just rebuilds python-2.2.1. only dpkg --remove python system-zope; fink install system-zope works. is this a fink bug? > > - it would need a low permission user to run the server. can i use the > > next available uid (259) and patch the passwd package accordingly? > > ...where did the 259 figure come from?

(I'll admit, I don't know what the convention > for giving out these numbes might be, but it seems like things are > flexible enough that users may have taken it already, or something else > they installed used it, etc.) in /sw/etc/passwd-fink you find the comments # # Fink passwd additions # # IDs are in the range 250..299 # and the uids 250-258 are taken by other fink users. i think the idea is that people using fink just should not use uid's 250..299. but wasn't sure if i can just grep one uid for zope. > I know a little Python, but being able to install Zope with Fink would be > a nice additional step there. same here ;) > I'd be willing to help you out if you need testing or anything like > that... thank you. lets see how far we can get... cheers, kilian _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
