first, thanks for clarifying. did i get you right, that for the future, monolithic source releases of zope2 are planned again once the dust has settled?
No. There is currently no monolithic released planned at all. Only if someone does all the work of automating such a release, engage with the community to discuss the approach and is willing to adjust to community feedback, only then I as the release manager might make those steps part of the release process. I'm not aware of anyone who has shown even remote interest in this task.
and second, does documentation exist which explains how to craft a monolithic tarball with zc.sourcerelease in order to build zope2.12 without network access? i still didn't get the picture regarding buildout, and thus don't understand zc.sourcerelease either :-/
I'm not aware of any specific documentation. www.buildout.org and the distutils-sig mailing list [1] would be the appropriate places to look. Hanno [1] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
