[Zope3-Users] Re: how to eggify a zopeproject?

[Jim Fulton]

A passing comment:

- Eggs are great for distributing libraries.

- They aren't ideal for distributing applications, which are often  
composed of many libraries, in the form is eggs.

zc.buildout is a tool for assembling libraries and other parts to  
create working applications. (Of course, it is not the only tool.)

The zc.sourcerelease package provides a simple script that leverages  
buildout to help create self-contained source releases from working  
buildouts.  This is the tool that I use to distribute applications.
