So I have relatively recently taken over a Zope package, and while it is
now in (basically) good shape, there are a couple of technical points I
want to clear up to make sure I'm doing it right, since what I can find on
the mailing list archives isn't entirely conclusive.
1) Is it proper (assuming that the package works under both Zope 2.6 and
Zope 2.7) to Depend on 'zope | zope2.7'? It seems like it should be, but
I wanted to double-check.
2) Usage of debconf templates. The debconf manual (and the maintainer)
seem to think that every package which uses the shared Zope restart
template needs to provide an identical copy. However, this seems
fairly impractical; already, I have two i18n bugs requesting updates
to the translation in my package, which was taken from the unstable
Zope package at the time. Since there is a (reasonably) sane default
behavior, if the db_get fails, and thus it isn't a huge problem if the
template has not yet been installed (through various situations), is
it really necessary for each Zope package to provide this, when the
coordination for shared questions in separate-source packages is so
painful?
Anyway, thanks for your time.
