We had some custom additions to our site.py file for a third party application. 'yum update' to 4.6 overwrote the file with no backup or warning. Not hard to repair, but it did have me worried there for a few minutes when the application failed to start.
Is this a python issue, an upstream issue or a CentOS issue? Can something be done about it going forward?
Upstream.
Although an application requiring changes to site.py seems suspect to me.
Yes, I won't argue about it being suspect. It's not exactly a mainstream application. But it needs a specific version of zope.
Is there a more appropriate alternative to adding 'sys.path.append()' in site.py to enable python to find zope? I know nothing of python, I'm just following vendor instructions (famous last words!).
