Not with the checkout and the current zpkg. I do consider this an unfortunate limitation in the implementation of zpkg; some of the decisions in the implementation will need to change to make it work differently, but I think it's really a matter of implementation and not the basic design. Distributions still allows all the distutils magic to happen, so out-of-place builds should be entirely possible with the packaged distribution. -Fred -- Fred L.
