[Zope-dev] What do we want in the way of Zope binary distributions?

In article <1050503118.1421.48.camel@james> you write:

Ok if you dig into the build process, could you please ensure that all
necessary .so files are built and shipped?

Well I like to use "pristine" binary builds from ZC to get reproducible
environment, but having an RPM will mean that it'll only allow me to
install it in one place, so only one Zope instance.

Well ok, I know lots of ways to get what I need (rpm2cpio for one), but
it will complicate my life a bit.
