[csw-maintainers] Zope in the package repository

Excerpts from Nicolai Schwindt's message of Fri Jun 26 12:50:54 -0400 2009:

Yes, Zope is rather stinky in this regard.

There is a 'Unified Installer' for Plone that bundles the required
(and tested combinations of) python, python egg libraries, zope and
plone install a single installation point.  Is there something similar
for just Zope?  If so, that might be the way to go in this case.  It's
similar to what you're proposing, but if the work and testing is
already done, it should save you some time.

We're using the Plone bundled option here and it works well for our
needs...

HTH.
