[Pkg-zope-developers] postrm calling /etc/init.d/zope and the zope2.7 package

[Federico Sevilla III]

Hi everyone,

I got this bug report for zope-externaleditor today. The postrm
dependency on the existence of /etc/init.d/zope is there to restart zope
after zope-externaleditor has been uninstalled.

I take it zope2.7 has a different init script? What's the correct fix
for this? Should I simply do a check to see if /etc/init.d/zope exists,
and if it doesn't, look for /etc/init.d/zope2.7? Or should I try and
restart both, whichever of them exists?

Or should zope2.7 provide an /etc/init.d/zope (which means it will
conflict with the older zope package)?

Thanks in advance!

 --> Jijo
