The branch that checkin landed on is the one where I am trying to make
CMF trunk distributable as an egg. Products which want to be
distributed as eggs need to avoid using __file__ directly, and instead
rely on the 'pkg_resource' APIs supplied with Phillip Eby's setuptools
(this makes them "zip_safe").
CMF isn't quite there yet:
- Some of the tests play with __file__ in ways that are painful
to reproduce, and I haven't gotten there yet.
- The GenericSetup profile mechanism doesn't yet grok eggified
products.
OTOH, the skins mechanism (on that branch) now works beautifully from
an eggified CMF.
Tres.
