Zope is currently released in three binary formats: Windows - i386 Solaris 2.6 - SPARC Linux RH 5.2 - i386 All binary releases come with python 2.1.3, built without large file support. We are proposing to change the binary distributions to newer releases, at least on the Solaris and Linux platforms. The new Solaris binary would be Solaris 2.8. The new Linux binary would be RedHat 7.2 based (i.e. glibc 2.1). It is very likely that the supplied Pythons would be built with large file support *enabled* for these platform, unless some unforseen compatibility issue arose. If there are requirements for keeping the binary distributions based on the older software, we need to understand these requirements. Please follow up with this thread on the zope-dev@zope.org list if you wish to participate. -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/
