[Max M, tests a zip file of .pyd files in Zope3, on Windows]
I finally got around to testing this, and it works *exactly* as I hoped. I downloaded Z3 from CVS, and Tim's zip file.
I unpacked the zip file into the Z3 directory, and it started the first time.
Yippee! That's what I expected, but it's always a pleasant surprise when software works <0.8 wink>.
I don't know about others, but I don't need anything more than this.
If either Chris or Tim would put that structure up at a saner location, I will write a How-to about it.
Basically I just need a web adress that stays current to use in the How-to, so that I could point to somewhere like:
http://zope.org/Members/tim_one/z3builds
Where they could get the latest zip file.
http://zope.org/Members/tim_one/Zope3-pyd.zip is in place now. I'll put up a similarly named one for Zope2 this afternoon (EDT). They'll be replaced from time to time (when Zope 2/3's C code changes), but will retain theses names.
