I did actually start toying with this on the holidays for the hell of it. But then got bored and started relaxing instead.

RE: [Zope] CZAN Anyone?
What does cpan give you that zope.org doesnt, I can go into zope.org, look at modules documentation, download them and so on. Same with CPAN. Ok so maybe it doesnt have simple and interfaces to it such as listings by author, module and so on... The next step would be automated installation, which would be nice. A simple interface to select a module, install it and restart your Zope. A much extended Control Panel... Zope.org does not know my particular installation, I cannot have it notify me when a new version is out. It doesn't automatically 'follow' dependencies etc. etc. Lots of reasons, mainly motivated by laziness^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H me not having the time to keep up with everything, I want to be informed automatically :) Cya Jonathan ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] CZAN Anyone?
Hi all, Does anyone have any plans for CPAN like functionality for Zope? I'd just love to install new products, update products already installed, get notified when I need a Hotfix etc. The product listing at Zope.org is getting longer all the time and I am having a hard time keeping up to date... Just a thought. Probably been thought of before :) Cya Jonathan ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

It would be a very good idea. The CPAN is the main strenght of Perl (if someone cites the Vaults as a Python equivalent, it means he never used the CPAN).

Somebody has to own the domain :) I'm got space available for a CZAN mirror if necessary. It might be something that benefits the Python community as a whole, not just Zope users, in which case 'CZAN' is not entirely correct ;) But hey, let's start somewhere right? Such a product would allow users to access CZAN from within the Zope Interface and work a bit like MS' Windows Update (if you're not familiar with it, it rules for upgrading Windows machines over the Internet). Install new products, new versions, hotfixes. Upgrade Zope itself. Integrate with ZEO etc. to upgrade clusters of machines all at once... Just thinking out loud here :) Anyone from DigiCool care to comment? How much of it is already in the pipeline?

Re: [Zope] CZAN Anyone?
Well, if you're going to be pedantic -- then it's only fair to mention that PPM is of ActiveState's devising, otherwise 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' does the trick, using Bundle::CPAN. Sorry... just had to point that out. (c8= Very true, just covering my own little world there for obvious reasons... mind you the growth of ppm so to non ActiveState repositories has been great. -- Andy McKay, Developer.
