I've had quite a few complaints over the months from people who are stuck behind firewalls and can't install TurboGears with easy_install for whatever reason. This problem is somewhat compounded in cases where the user may have a machine that has internet access, but isn't the same platform as their deployment machine so they wouldn't even get the right eggs to deploy with easy_install.
What I ultimately want to end up with is a tarball that contains all of the platform independent stuff, and then three tarballs for the platform dependent stuff (win, mac, source). I know about easy_install -zmaxd, and that certainly helps... but 1) it doesn't keep all of the eggs zipped up (because it sitll thinks it's doing an install, instead of just a download) 2) it doesn't help with the three platform dependent parts Is this something zc.buildout can help with? I'm not certain what the best way is to automate this process...
