RE: [Zope-dev] Zope Binary Release Changes for Zope 2.6
In theory (and as a Debian user), I like the idea of support for as distro-neutral of a linux distribution as possible; on the other hand, supporting RedHat 7.2 is a must for Zope accessability to new developers (since there are a lot of RedHat 7.2 systems out there). Is Python 2.1 under woody really compiled with LFS support? That would be great, but still likely means that your best bet is to build Zope from source, or just use the Zope packages in Debian Main. Anyway, Debian 3.0 uses glibc 2.2 (I'm not sure if this is a big deal???). A thought: rather than require yet another Zope binary distribution to be packaged for Debian by Zope Corp (esp. Since Zope packages are fairly decent in Debian), the Zope.org download page might want to contain a link to: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=zopesearchon =namessubword=1version=allrelease=all for Debian users, just like it mentions the contributed RPMs. Sean -Original Message- From: Nagarjuna G.

RE: [Zope-dev] Zope Binary Release Changes for Zope 2.6
I don't see why the fuss. Compiling Python/Zope against RedHat 7.2 doesn't keep it from running under Debian. Even though Debian 3.0 runs glibc 2.2, a glibc2.1 binary should be able to run without problems. Specially since there isn't any C++ code in Zope, which is usually the major source of incompatibilities between different library versions. Glibc is reasonably upward compatible AFAIK. Mentioning RedHat 7.2 as the building platform is just a short way of saying that the Zope binary will expect to find libc version X, libm version Y, libpthread version Z, etc, etc. If you have these or better versions of your basic libraries, you don't have to worry what distro you're running.

[Zope-dev] Zope Binary Release Changes for Zope 2.6
Zope is currently released in three binary formats: Windows - i386 Solaris 2.6 - SPARC Linux RH 5.2 - i386 All binary releases come with python 2.1.3, built without large file support. We are proposing to change the binary distributions to newer releases, at least on the Solaris and Linux platforms. The new Solaris binary would be Solaris 2.8. The new Linux binary would be RedHat 7.2 based (i.e. glibc 2.1). It is very likely that the supplied Pythons would be built with large file support *enabled* for these platform, unless some unforseen compatibility issue arose. If there are requirements for keeping the binary distributions based on the older software, we need to understand these requirements.
