Re: [Plone-developers] fakeplone2eggs for installers

If we're willing to dispense with a compiler install, and leave the
user with a configuration that won't be able to handle source eggs
with C components, the requirements for an installer are dramatically
reduced.

We've got a couple of how-tos now on Plone.Org that demonstrate
leveraging the Windows and Mac OS X binary installer Python and Zope
installations to add buildout in a few steps.

The Windows one is still underway (so you'll need permissions to read it):

http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/setting-up-a-buildout-environment-on-windows-using-the-windows-installer-for-plone/

Make sure you read the comments.

The OS X version is public:
