[Seaside-dev] Remove / rename Zinc-Seaside

[Johan Brichau]

Hey Max,

The Zinc-Seaside package is indeed moved to the Seaside project a while back: https://github.com/SeasideSt/Seaside/issues/1050 <https://github.com/SeasideSt/Seaside/issues/1050>

Do you have a sequence I can try to see what the problem still is?

Renaming it is a good idea anyway.

Cheers
Johan
