I just briefly inspected the tseaver-pkg_resources branch and I have a few questions/comments: 1. was this ever merged into trunk for cmf2.1 inclusion (my brief comparisons leads me to believe it was not) ? 2. it looks like the branch was put in place to make it so the cmf files themselves uses pkg_resources so they can be loaded from eggs and the like -- not that the paths pointed to by DirectoryViews could exist outside of Products (relative paths I mean) Perhaps I'm missing something? I'd welcome a technical explanation as to what exactly the branch tried to do and the ETA on inclusion into trunk.
