plone.recipe.zope2install 1.2

ZC Buildout recipe for installing Zope 2.

plone.recipe.zope2install

Options

To specify which Zope 2 to use, use one of the following options:

url

The URL to a tarball to use for the Zope 2 installation.

svn

The URL for an subversion checkout to use for the Zope 2 installation.

If you use many buildouts with the same Zope 2 version, then you can add “zope-directory” in the “buildout” section in your ~/.buildout/default.cfg file like this:

[buildout]
zope-directory = /home/me/buildout/zope

For installations from tarballs that directory will be used instead of the parts directory in your buildout. Each version of Zope will get it’s own directory but if it’s already installed the existing one will be reused.

Exported variables

The following variables are set by this recipe and can be used in other parts.

location

The path to the Zope installations root.
