Question about Python-zope, Puppet

Support
#1

NethServer Version: 7.9.2009
Module: Default install from ISO

Hi

Just did a fresh install of NethServer on an APU, installation with serial console…

So far no issues, only two small questions:

  • Is Zope actually used on NethServer, and if not, why is python-zope installed?
  • Is Puppet used on Nethserver, and if not, why is puppet installed at all?

Just curious…

My 2 cents

AFAIK zope is used in SOGo (only?) Could it be that python-zope is just part of the python (scl?) package and installed when you install anything python?
I doubt Puppet is used in NS…

In a default installation from ISO?
No SoGo or anything chosen…

No need either for puppet, AFAIK either…

@robb

Seems like puppet has something to do with the Netserver subscription.

And Zope seems more integrated than I’d expect…

Nethserver subscription uses a part of puppet, see documentation.

The python-zope-* package seem to provide parts of the zope toolkit, check this link.

Hi @mrmarkuz

That’s a bit like saying installing Office installs Word…

I know what Zope is, i was only wondering WHAT on NethServer uses Zope…

Just for fun, without actually running it, just for seeing, run:

yum remove zope

A lot of stuff…

Seems certbot requires parts of zope, see for example this github issue

# yum deplist python2-certbot
  dependency: python-zope-component
   provider: python-zope-component.noarch 1:4.1.0-5.el7
