We generate Zope on a development machine, test it there and when everything is accepted, we pack it together with other third party and our own products and transfer it to all affected production servers. The aim is that the production servers have exactly the same configuration than what has been tested on the development machine. I do not want to claim that RPM may not be useful, though. Dieter
