Zope is currently released in three binary formats:
Windows - i386
Solaris 2.6 - SPARC
Linux RH 5.2 - i386
All binary releases come with python 2.1.3, built without large file support.
We are proposing to change the binary distributions to newer releases, at least on the Solaris and Linux platforms.
The new Solaris binary would be Solaris 2.8.
The new Linux binary would be RedHat 7.2 based (i.e. glibc 2.1).
It is very likely that the supplied Pythons would be built with large file support *enabled* for these platform, unless some unforseen compatibility issue arose.
Is it difficult to make the GNU/Linux binary distro independent? All the binaries that I have been using from the Zope site work to the best of my knowledge on distros. Why mention Redhat specailly? I work on Debian Woody 3.0, and the python 2.1 is compiled with large file system support. Nagarjuna
