New Mailing List

A new mailing list for python has been created. The list is for discussions related to improve Python support on FreeBSD. This is a technical mailing list. It is for individual working on porting Python, it's third party modules to FreeBSD. These also include issues with python related ports such as Zope.

Shared and Static libraries for python.

Due to performance reasons, python was built as static. Hye-Shik Chang has recently commited changes so that the python port now installs both static and dynamic libraries. This means that you need to change linking with not static but shared library if you need to embed python into your shared library.

Zope ports

Zope 2.6.2 currently uses and older version of python (python2.1) and the version was fixed for the USE_ZOPE variable for ports. This caused problems, with dependent ports. Since the proper fix was not easy (install multiple instances of a port), discussions on the mailing list seem to agree to update the Zope port to 2.7 and allow it to use the current version of python. This update will be checked in soon.

Plone 2.0 is coming to FreeBSD. It's imminent release has lead to it's maintainer holding the release of the plone-devel port. Those who can't wait can grab it from http://www.zope.it/Members/UlbabraB/Ports/plone-devel.tar.gz. A lot of CMF Products for Plone has been added, more will be coming soon, when Zope is updated.
