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

[Gediminas Paulauskas]

I know it would be better if everything came from Debian. But in
practice only 1/4 of zope packages in Ubuntu come from Debian. All the
rest were added by me 1-2 years ago. So I continue this route.

There is very little activity in Debian Zope team (pkg-zope) and no
active maintainers left in it. It took a few months just to get changes
I synced from Ubuntu uploaded. It is impossible to turnaround this in a
week left until Feature Freeze.

For this package, missing bits in Debian are zope.contentprovider and
python-z3c binary package that comes from z3c.form

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:
