the first thing they could offer to do is to host the final rpms/tar.gz's

what about the actual mechanics of putting rope together? i'm assuming
we'd create a /usr/local/Rope, build the latest stable perl in there,
then configure apache for mod_perl etc and install it under there as 
well, the the other modules.

finally is it enough to simply tar.gz /usr/local/Rope and tag it
with the architecture details

we would probably need some final install program to be run, that
would handle the local details of the system - such as what user
to run apache as

comments? suggestions?
