It looks like the edge/launchpad.conf is legitimately missing from the lp-productions-configs branch. Might have a similar root cause to bug 398035, but I can't tell from the other bug report.

[Francis J. Lacoste (flacoste)]

The bugs aren't related. Bug 398035 was about a vhost added to the schema, while the production configs didn't include it.

In lp-production-configs, I do see an "edge" config directory with a lauchpad-lazr.conf file. Did you check out lp:~launchpad-pqm/lp-production-configs/trunk under your production-configs directory when testing locally?

[Michael Hudson-Doyle (mwhudson)]

If you do that, the build still fails because there's no launchpad.conf in the edge directory. I don't know what the minimal launchpad.conf looks like but I guess that's what we want.

[Francis J. Lacoste (flacoste)]

Ideally, canonical.config should proceed in the absence of a ZConfig file. It only gets three variables out of this file which aren't useful when not using an app server.

- devmode
- servers
- threads

Even more ideally, these should come from the lazr.config file and not from the Zope file.

Anyway, I've uploaded a config branch which works-around this by adding the minimal zope file for this to work.
