You can still use bundles, you just have to include all the code from the libraries into one distro package. IMHO this is far better than getting every TG piece as a package and installing them all individually. Here's some code that I wrote recently to install all the requirements for an app into one directory, and monkeypatch any scripts so they fix up the path when they are run: http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=bundle-builder;a=tree It's not directly applicable to this situation, but the code is simple enough, mostly in here: http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=bundle-builder;a=blob;h=8cf7fe95a89fb6f23cd94abd086e37ede6e8cf44;hb=58826bbd71b7b895797e8eebd8e397afe9d1816d;f=bundlebuilder/command/bdist_olpc_bundle.py (oh lovely git links...) -- Ian Bicking | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://blog.ianbicking.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
