[Zope3-Users] Re: Visionaire! (All your problems, solved)

[Peter Bengtsson]

Interesting. My angle on things is simplicity. I don't know or care
how it's reached as long as it's reached. (sort of)

You think the ONE package idea actually is confusing. You, as a
genuine real developer, find this mass of packages confusing. I
respect that.
Perhaps by having three packages instead of just one (ie. zope3)
structure and order is implied that you can use to your advantage.

The reason I prefer having one huge package in zope2 for stuff is
maybe because zope still isn't working very well with debian
packaging. Perhaps there's hope with Eggs? Maybe with eggs, when I
realise that I need CookieCrumbler I don't need to google for it to
manually download it from hathawaymix.org.

Chris M, you're the Eggs expert (or pretend to be for the sake of
this exercise). What do you think? Do you think we can use Eggs where
zope2 and debian failed?
