I do not follow your objections against "extra". Each individual extra "XXXX:extra" is equivalent to a separate package "XXXX_extra" depending on "XXXX" (and potentially many other things). The extras are just a convenient way to avoid cluttering the distribution namespace. That said, I like a). > as it complicates >reasoning about the dependency structure.

But then many packages are likely to depend on "zope.testing" and maybe even "buildout". Would we really want such dependencies? -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
