One thing that sucks right now for the repoze.zope2 story is that
Zope 2
isn't "officially" packaged in an egg-friendly form so the Repoze
guys
have to repackage it. It'd be great to be able to get Zope 2
released in
a way that can at least optionally be installable as eggs.
I think this should be a major goal for Zope 2.12. We possibly will
have a Zope-(2 oriented) sprint in summer in Germany. If there are
volunteers and interest I could add this to the possible sprint
topics. Feedback welcome.
Personally, I'd be happy if Zope2 was shipped as a single egg almost
exactly like we ship it here:
http://dist.repoze.org/zopelib-2.10.5.0.tar.gz
The one thing I'd like to see is ZODB (and "transaction") removed from
it. This is currently a little hard given that some C extensions in
Zope depend on ZODB headers. Fixing that would likely be less than a
day's worth of work for a sufficiently motivated person.
I'm -1 on breaking it out into many eggs like Z3 is broken out now
unless there's some super-compelling reason to do so for some limited
number of packages (e.g. I can see StructuredText coming out).
