Below is a typical example of the problem I encounter. I tried to build
an RPM of ZSI-2.0 using "python setup.py bdist_rpm", and got the output
below at the end. Most of the time I have the same problem trying to
create RPM's from python tar.gz files.
The reason you can't just put the files into site-packages on the CD file
system (AFAIK for either Fedora or a Debian derivative such as Ubuntu) is
that the live CD builds its system from packages in the distro format. To
get files into site-packages as part of the live CD, they have to be
loaded there from an RPM or deb format package. I don't know of any way
the live CD's can be set up to handle eggs. Also, the live CD's are now
being made installable, so if the user wants to do so, installing from the
live CD is an option. The installers expect distro formatted packages.
