to get an app to run or compile I do a bunch of sudo apt-get install xxxx This can involve tedious trial and error. Maybe I like the app, maybe I don't. If I like it, I want a convenient format in which to remember the required packages, automate their installation, provide convenience when building machines. If I don't like it, I'd like to remove the packages I installed. Buildout does this for eggs, and tarballs via cmmi, I want the same convenience for system packages. > > Jim > > -- > Jim Fulton > Zope Corporation > > > _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
