The Zope External Editor is a new way to integrate Zope more seamlessly with
client-side tools. It has the following features:
- Edit objects locally, directly from the ZMI.
- Works with any graphical editor application that can open a file from the
command line, including: emacs, gvim, xemacs, nedit, gimp, etc.
- Automatically saves changes back to Zope without ending the editing
session.
- Associate any client-side editor application with any Zope object by
meta-type or content-type. Both text and binary object content can be
edited.
- Locks objects while they are being edited. Automatically unlocks them when
the editing session ends.
- Can add file extensions automatically to improve syntax highlighting or
file type detection.
- Works with basic auth, cookie auth and Zope versions. Credentials are
automatically passed down to the helper application. No need to
reauthenticate.
- https support (Openssl required)
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
