yes, thanks for suggesting that. i don't know much about buildout, and
didn't give zc.sourcerelease a try yet, but i'll take a look at it. are
the scripts you use to make self-contained tar balls and maybe even the
build scripts for rpms available somewhere? i guess they would be of
great help for me to understand how zc.sourcerelease works.
