packages plus the relevant Zope3 code, drawn from Zope 3.3.2. It
also includes most of the "foreign" packages the OP identified,
except those in the ZODB egg.
Actually this distro *also* includes the ZODB packages. I wasn't able
to excise them.
- http://dist.repoze.org/ZODB3-3.7.2.tar.gz contains the ZODB
packages,
including transaction and ThreadedAsync. This is the version that
the zopelib distribution depends on.
zopelib doesn't depend on this package, but repoze.zope2 does (just to
get the most recent ZODB release; the installation ordering ensures
that this one is installed last, and so is hopefully found first).
The voice of idealism says that yes, every little Zope package
ought to
be packaged in each popular distro, and these should work together
nicely, and be bug-free and fully supported. It will take a lot of
time
and work to reach that state, and I'm afraid most of the Zopers are
too
busy building production applications to be much help with this.
Yup, exactly.
+1 on fewer packages, particularly for Zope2, which is a lovable
twisted mess of subtle interdependencies between packages that mostly
have no lives on their own anyway.
