Hi guys, wasn't aware anyone was listening on this list, judging from the archives :-) Sorry I missed the zope@ thread, I don't subscribe anymore because the traffic level is (used to be?) a recipe for insanity. As Paul hinted at, I'm currently working on revamping the build, installation, and instance management processes for Zope 2.6, based on existing work. I have a vested interest in this because I build the OpenBSD package, which currently installs the software home into $PREFIX/lib/zope and includes a script to build an instance home for you. I want to expand on this. I don't know what your timetables are, but if you're in the process of rethinking this, wait till the weekend is past, I should have something by then. What I do come up with will most likely be able to be used with 2.4 and 2.5. and it'll mean you don't have to do it again for 2.6. :-)
