But you are describing the internal ZC thinking here, certainly not something that has been widely or publically communicated. There are very few people out there using eggs. Most download a release, create an instance and drop the add-on packages in there, some using SETUP.cfg and others creating/copying the slugs by hand. > > I hope it is avoidable with the above insight. > > Again, if you think there's an official story that involves > *requiring* people to rely on those nasty slug files, you're deluding > yourself. We've always maintained that those are "convenience" (for > some definition of "wouldn't you like to shoot yourself in the > foot?"). But this is how the latest release and trunk works! All of my projects still work this way. Nowhere else is a different process documented.
