I think we've decided to abandon Linux binaries entirely. The pain doesn't seem to be worth the gain. That may change, but for now, that's the working assumption. - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joachim Werner" <joe@iuveno.de> To: "Florent Guillaume" <fg@nuxeo.com>; "Zope Developers list" <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 7:09 PM Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] What do we want in the way of Zope binary distributions?
I'd like to propose that ZC drops the "generic" Linux binary
distribution
in favor of an RPM distribution that would be "guaranteed" to run on the latest Red Hat release or the one before it, but might also work on Mandrake, etc.
Don't forget about SuSE (or UnitedLinux) for non-Americans ;-)
It should be possible to get help from SuSE with doing official or semi-official SuSE RPMs of Zope. I could get a contact for you if you need one.
Well I like to use "pristine" binary builds from ZC to get reproducible environment, but having an RPM will mean that it'll only allow me to install it in one place, so only one Zope instance.
Binary builds have been quite useful for us, too. They always work, even if you don't have the possibility to use gcc on a machine, which is the case for a lot of people in a hosting environment.
But of course you CAN run multiple Zope instances from an RPM install: Just use instance homes!
