Whoo hoo, always nice when everybody is on the same maillists! ;-)

Do you mean the fact that zopectl doesn't write a pidfile or.. ?  My
biggest problem has been getting it to print "OK" "STOPPED" and "FAILED"
at interactive invocation (works ok at startup).  It's always the little
things..

What do you think about putting the zope lib files in /usr/lib/zope27 as
opposed to /usr/lib/zope?  I thought it was a good idea to dirversion
major releases like this at the time, but now I'm not sure.

Right.. FWIW, I've got a patch to 2.7.0 that fixes up the error when you
use "zopectl start" (it will be included in later upstream releases). 
If it's ok with you, I'm going to integrate some of your changes into
the original package or maybe vice versa and try to get the result into
the fedora.us repo.  The result will also end up in Zope.org CVS at
http://cvs.zope.org/Packages/ZopeRPMBuild , FYI.

Thanks,
