* net-www/zope-bin Latest version available: 2.6.0 Latest version installed: 2.6.0 Homepage: http://www.zope.org Description: Complete binary package for Zope web application framework The binary tarball of zope-2.6. Claimed to fix the security issues with earlier versions. Still needs python-2.1 which is provided by this package and exclusively used by zope itself. Zope can run as another user than the one starting it, and this is used to have it run in a sandbox. The ebuild will create a user and group zope (guid 8080) and changes some stuff so that the service can be started by root but then will run as the unprivileged zope user. Unmerging the ebuild will remove said user again. I made this because I wanted to try out zope and noticed that the former version is masked because of python version issues (?) and security vulnerabilities considering traceback info. I figured in this case a "binary" package isn't that bad an idea because it can have its desired python interpreter without interfering with the rest of Gentoo which heavily relies on python. It works and zope looks really interesting. Comments are welcome. If I've done something wrong or stupid please tell me. MD5 2ae05fafd64f57100e6af87645858861 Zope-2.6.0-linux2-x86.tgz 7099153

I suggest dropping this in favour of #9474 which was entered shortly after this one and which has already been commited. Ignore. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 9474 ***
