RPMs of Zope 2.4.4beta or Zope 2.5 would be very nice.
Believe it or not, some of us actually use the administrative features of RPMs. It would be nice if the RPMs were generated in an automatic way, instead of just as some guy's pet project that gets updated when he has time.
Furthermore, it would be nice if the RPMs were tested on systems other than Red Hat (for me, that would be Mandrake, in particular). I have to use --nodeps (and --force? I don't remember) to install because it looks for a package that is named differently under Mandrake... I can provide details if anyone is interested.
We would be delighted if you spent the time and developed automatic packaging for the distributions which concern you. Our build process does not generate RPMs or any other package format.
FYI the "automatic packaging" part is already done. "rpm -bb" takes a .spec file, unpacks the sources in a temporary folder, performs a complete build, and generates RPMs. The only thing someone needs to maintain is the .spec file, which might be slightly different per distribution. Shane
