[Zope] Wanted: Procedure to produce binary release from sourc e release

[Brian Lloyd]

We use a script that basically pulls binary files out of 
our CVS repository - I dont think that would be very useful 
to you :(  This should be pretty easy though - I would suggest 
making a little python script that makes use of the install 
machinery that's already there in Zope (w_pcgi and wo_pcgi 
are just thin wrappers around some of that machinery). For 
example:

# builder.py - untar a Zope source release, cd to the 
# top directory of it and run this script. It will build 
# all of the binaries for the current platform - you 
# could easily extend this to tar up the result, etc.

import sys, os

def main(dirname):
  # add zope install helper modules to path
  sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(dirname, 'inst'))

  # build pcgi
  import build_pcgi

  # build pyc files (could be skipped if you want)
  import compilezpy

  # build the extensions
  import build_extensions

if __name__ == '__main__':
  main(os.getcwd())


Hope this helps!
