[Zope-Coders] Windows and OSX controllers / distros

[Jens Vagelpohl]

richard,

i can't really help with the controller applications (no experience with 
objective C here) but i have been thinking that it should not be hard for 
us to offer a simple "binary release" of zope for OS X that looks like the 
linux binary release. it would probably not be too hard to offer it in a 
tarball, but having a dmg or some kind of installer would be nice. does the 
makefile you mention also build zope and python?
