I sent a message to the pkg-zope-developers mailing list yesterday about packaging zope2.12 and plone4.[0] This so far has resulting in the suggestion to use z3c.recipe.debian, which is a buildout recipe for creating a debian package out of a buildout. And as I explained in a followup to that email.[1] A summary of that message: Plone is not a fixed application and therefore packaging a buildout will likely cause me pain in the long run. I won't use buildout in production *period*. I experimented with using pip to help in building a packaged version of Plone. That failed because of zope.configuration. You can see my thread for further details.[2] So I'm fairly stuck at this point, but I'm not giving up.

Maybe. I have a number of problems with the Unified Installer that I see no easy way to avoid, one of them being that I want to create independent buildouts from one Plone installation, and one being that we're more than one person developing several projects together/alternatingly, off the same Plone installation (I don't want subtle differences, and nor do I want much code duplication to take care of), and one being that it is surprisingly hard to convince an installation that began as a system-wide zeo installation, to run without trying to assert special user privileges, or outside the precompiled directories. Last but not least, it works fine on one machine, but totally breaks on another machine which is otherwise quite similar - NOT really trust-inspiring...
