I don't. During my life I saw it many times - beginner sysdmins do configure-make a lot. Experienced (and busy) sysadmins use ready-made packages - RPM/DEB/PKG on Linux (and Solaris), ports on *BSD.
This is quite simply, complete and utter bullshit. Sorry.
These harsh words indicate that you are out of resonble arguments. I said "I saw many times" - and this is my experience, which is reasonable argument. You can use counterarguments. But if you just want to argue without reasonable arguments - that is, attack me - I can easily ignore you, either manually, or using killfile. No problem for me.
But Zope is not easy to install. I must:
1. Recompile python with threads and all neccessary modules.
Well, didn't you have a beloved RPM for that? RPM's are supposed to fix
Yes, they did - that why I prefer them.
everything, right?
Wrong. Sarcasm ignored.
2. Install MySQL, MySQLdb and ZMySQLDA (or Postgres and its DA).
No, you don't need to install this.
Zope without SQL is just a toy for small sites.
5. Setup Data.fs (import Products and ZClasses, configure, etc). 6. Modify Apache's config (to make it connect to Zope).
Ready-made binary packages with all interdependencies make it MUCH simpler and faster.
These two last things can not be done by any RPM. You will have to do that
Why?
manually, no matter what.
