No reason except that I have an install script for python, zope, and modules (including configuration) for both that I "know" form a stable environment on our production servers, whether linux, or freeBSD. I should try the ports distribution and run my unit tests to perhaps build a more likely to be stable freeBSD installer for our work.
That would be a good idea. Try that and let me know if your tests work. People go to alot of trouble to make a port. It makes little sense to re-invent the wheel especially with ports. If your tests fail let me know where and how and I will see about getting the maintainer of the offending port to ensure it works with your tests and application. -- ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
