[Grok-dev] Application Distribution HOWTO

[Torvald Bringsvor]

Hi

Yeah, I have read that one. Sorry, it is actually a bit too mini for me. I actually thought buildout was what you would use to make an egg of your application.

Seems like the consensus is: use grokproject to make a new instance for your production server, copy everything over. I was kind of wondering if there was something more polished than that. Is there a grok roadmap somewhere?

People generally use buildout. There's a mini tutorial about buildout:

I'm not sure what is mini about it though  :)
