You install from the index built from that same set of known good versions: $ /path/to/virtualenv --no-site-packages /tmp/z2123 $ /tmp/z2123/bin/easy_install \ -i http://download.zope.org/Zope2/index/2.12.3/ Zope2 $ /tmp/z2123/bin/mkzopeinstance -d /tmp/instance -u admin:123 $ /tmp/instance/bin/zopectl fg >> Activate is a completely unnecessary attractive nuisacne: I *never* use >> it, and I routinely see people who *do* use it end up running from >> different environments than the ones they think they are running. > > Right, so how do I avoid it? Is that in your new Zope 2 docs? You just use the scripts in the 'bin' directory, as above. Sourcing 'activate' pollutes your shell's environment for the dubious benefit of saving a couple of keystrokes. >> The self-contained mode is likely *perfect* for developers who produce a >> highly-customized bundle o Zope, 3rd party software, and custom code. >> It just isn't right as the "first choice" for somebody installing Zope >> for the first time. > > I fail to see why not.
