My experience is that .rpm and .deb packages are poorly maintained, so if someone is serious about using Zope and related products, downloading and installing from source is the only way to go. We also have tools internally that depend on the configure/make dance, and I'm sure others who put up a lot of Zope instances do as well.. :) -Morten
