[Pkg-zope-developers] Bug#359256: add support for non-root usage of dzhandle

[Stefano Zacchiroli]

Package: zope-common
Version: 0.5.21
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/dzhandle

dzhandle should be usable even by non-root users.

Briefly, this would mean enable users to:
1) perform all dzhandle actions on the instances (create/destroy,
   add/remove products, invoke zopectl, ...)
2) manually add external (i.e. non-debian packages) products

A (not so) longer discussion of this feature request can be found on the
pkg-zope-developers mailing list:

Cheers.
