Hey Roger. Sounds reasonable to me. Can we also discuss the potential of only including testing setup for dev eggs and removing testing as part of a release when the eggs are packaged to pypi or other repository for consumption.
-1. Without the testing environment available in the packages, we could not: (a) Test the packages using the KGS. (b) Verify that a package works within a given environment. Both of those use cases are extremely important to us.
While I personally do not like the contributor agreement, I am willing to sign to help out to work with you and others to get this settled. I am busy just like anyone else, but this stuff with the dependencies has to end now. Weve been with eggs for more than a couple years, progress has been made but it has been slow. Seriously, let's see what we can do to.
We are using eggs for about 1.5 years and really did not have a sensible configuration until the KGS came around less than a year ago. But other than that, I am all for less dependencies. Roger and I have worked on this a lot already. (ZAM was developed out of a need to have the least amount of dependencies while still having the ability to use a management interface.)
