Hi, I've revived the Zope installer scripts so that a new Zope 2.7 installer is being built that compliments the one Zope Corp. builds. This installer is currently in beta but will hopefully be ready when 2.7 is launched. It can be downloaded here: http://www.clearwind.ca/zope It features all the same goodies as the Zope Corp. plus: * Additional Python modules: o Full Win 32 Installation o PIL o Reportlab * Additional Documentation: o Zope Book (2.6 edition) o Dive into Python o Python 2.2 documentation * Additional modules and products: o External Editor o LocalFS o ZSyncer o Formulator o Localizer o Translation Service Plus its not dependent upon Zope Corp to build, it's built straight from a CVS check out each night. Anyway the installer is in beta, so any testing and bug reports would be appreciated (and it will soon be moved to a fast server). In particular if there are any products that you would like shipped with it, please let me know. -- Andy McKay ClearWind Consulting http://www.clearwind.ca

Is there any plan for Zope Corp to move to using this builder at some point? It seems pretty cool :-) Chris

I dont know of any, this should probably stay independent as an alternative. For a start its very big, over 20MB. Second being we can put products in there that people use regularly without them becoming ZC supported products. I have no problem adding things like Formulator, External Editor, maybe even Squishdot into the installer and pointing people to the relevant site for that product for support. -- Andy McKay http://www.agmweb.ca

Hmmm, true... How hard would be be, for example, to build a binary installer specifically for something like Squishdot or Plone using the work you've done? Chris

Not very hard, this is actually the Plone Installer stripped down a little for Zope and then thrown in the build system I have on Windows. Essentially ChrisM has the same installer built for 2.7, using Inno as well its in http://cvs.zope.org/Packages/WinBuilders/. -- Andy McKay http://www.agmweb.ca
