Here is a page by Butch Landingin at http://www.zope.org/Members/butchland/ZopePackProposal He talks about the need for a Zope Pack Manager. Or maybe that should be Zope Package Manager? :) It would be nice to have a single unified way of preparing apps, products or whatever for distribution.

Just my $0.02 worth... If you can at all avoid it, I think you should find a way to store it in the ZODB. Maybe a Configuration product that would allow you to create arbitrary configuration information and still be able to access it without making filesystem calls. Think about DC's Zope on
