[Bug 914389] Re: [needs-packaging] z3c.pt

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

As the prospective maintainer of this package for Ubuntu, I think it
would make sense for the benefit of everyone if this could be uploaded
to Debian first and then copied to Ubuntu like most other packages.

You can do this fairly easily by first opening an ITP bug in Debian
against the wnpp pseudo-package, preparing pretty much the same package
and sending an email to the debian-mentors mailing list after making
sure it builds and runs properly and uploading the source package
somewhere. There's more information on how to do the ITP bug here:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/  and about getting new packages in
Debian generally here: http://mentors.debian.net/.

Title:
  [needs-packaging] z3c.pt

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  z3c.pt is a fast implementation of the ZPT template engine for Zope 3
  which uses Chameleon to compile templates to byte-code.

  It is an alternative to zope.app.pagetemplate that is already in
  Ubuntu.

  SchoolTool (the primary user of Zope libraries in Ubuntu) is not yet
  compatible with it, but we would like to have the possibility to
  switch template engine to a faster one.

  z3c.ptcompat 1.0 that has already been uploaded, depends on it
  (previously it was optional). But z3c.ptcompat itself is no longer
  required by anything, so nothing is broken.

  The packaging is done and is uploaded to the SchoolTool PPA:
  https://launchpad.net/~schooltool-owners/+archive/ppa/?field.series_filter=precise

  Packaging branch:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~menesis/ubuntu/precise/z3c.pt/precise
