Thanks for the advice. After I sent the email I realized the prod.cfg should be in the egg anyway. I was a little confused in the first place because after installing the egg on the production server. I needed to issue the "tg-admin sql create" command since my production server isn't using the same database as my development server and it was giving me an error about needing an egg-info directory.
i guess the real questions become: when using an egg on the production server, where does the prod.cfg need to be placed and how can one issue the tg-admin sql create command? I was trying to stay away from the tarball and svn. I come from a java background and was hoping eggs would be as painless or easier than .war files are in tomcat.
