Installation

Use zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage packages:

• Add Products.PFGExtendedMailAdapter to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

  [buildout]
  eggs =
      Products.PFGExtendedMailAdapter

• Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

  [instance]
  recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
  zcml =
      Products.PFGExtendedMailAdapter

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout

You can skip the ZCML slug if you are going to explicitly include the package from another package’s configure.zcml file.

Because its top level Python namespace package is called Products, this package can also be installed in Zope 2 as an old style Zope 2 Product.

For that, move (or symlink) the PFGExtendedMailAdapter folder of this project (Products.PFGExtendedMailAdapter/Products/PFGExtendedMailAdapter) into the Products directory of the Zope instance it has to be installed for, and restart the server.

You can also skip the ZCML slug if you install this package the Zope 2 Product way.
