A thought that came up when reading this paragraph: another option restructuring/grouping to reduce the amount of packages may be to join smaller packages with weird boundaries into larger ones again. (Not that I suggest this to be an ultimate option, nor do I know from the top of my head any candidates for this, but we can keep that on the list of options we have.)
I think this is a good idea, but I wouldn't want to do it on a package level. Rather do it on the distribution level. Once the distutils2 improvements are available, we have the means to say "distribution A obsoletes B".
Interesting. On the first impression that sounds like a good abstraction and tool. I guess not everyone aware that distribution != package is possible and maybe even useful. ;) Christian -- Christian Theune · ct@gocept.com gocept gmbh & co. kg · forsterstraße 29 · 06112 halle (saale) · germany http://gocept.com · tel +49 345 1229889 0 · fax +49 345 1229889 1 Zope and Plone consulting and development
