Installing Plone on openSUSE 10.2
Prev |  | Next

# 1. Introduction

Plone is not included in openSUSE 10.2, and the same applies to the versions of Python (2.4.4), Zope (2.9.6), Python Imaging Library (PIL) (1.1.5, suited for Python 2.4.4) and ElementTree (1.2.6, suited for Python 2.4.4) that are recommended for use in combination with Plone 2.5.2.

This bundle contains the missing RPM packages which help you maintain your system in a consistent way without the need to compile the software yourself.

Disclaimer: the RPMs provided here are neither official SUSE RPMs nor distributed by Novell or by the software's authors. All packages have been built using the SUSE build script. You use all RPM packages provided here at your own risk. There is no warranty about their proper function. Always make backups of your data before installing and using them!

A Python version suited for Zope 2.9.6 is 2.4.4. There is no need to replace the Python that comes with the distribution: the package named `python24` you find in the bundle is meant to be installed in parallel. Its files reside in `/opt/python24` in order to not interfere with the standard Python.

When installing RPMs you might get messages like `warning: plone-2.5.2-1.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 13506f4b` which indicate your rpm command cannot check the package's digital signature. In order to perform the check you can fetch my GPG package signing key and import it into your RPM database. By using the GPG web of trust you have a means to check the origin of the RPM packages.
