AFAIK, these files are for (pre-egg, no-longer-used) zpkg tool. They are removed in zope.app.renderer's trunk, BTW.
I certainly hope no one is relying on that old tools!
I care about those files in Zope3/ and ZODB3/, since they are used to create the Zope 3 tar ball. Remember, Zope 3.4 will be the *first* release where we officially introduce eggs. And I have heard from a lot of people that would like to see a couple more TAR ball releases. I have a script to update the Zope3/ tree, so it is fairly easy for me to fulfill that request.
Isn't it possible to rewrite the tarball builder to use egg requires instead of those files? I don't know much about the tarball releasing process though... -- WBR, Dan Korostelev
