What is needed is a new way of installing Zope stuff for the following categories: 1. Python Base Products (Like ZPatterns, PTKBase and TrackerBase) 2. Instantiatable Products (like TinyTables, Squishdot and Tracker) 3. Interface Skins (none right now, DemoPortal is probably the closest)
Sadly tarballs only address issues 1 & 2 that I can see above...
I wonder if ZPatterns Specialists address 3?
Tarballs are flexible enough to install both a Python Products and associated ZClasses from ZEXP's (the products "__init__" function imports the ZEXP at the appropriate place, if it is not already there).
I presume you mean the thing created by the 'Distribution' tab of products?
I believe he is talkin gabout the __init__ function checking to see if the .zexp has been imported, and if not, importing it for you. It's an idea I have kicked around, but haven't tried yet. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.
