We already create branches on launchpad like lp:~launchpad/bzr/2.0.0-lp whenever we have to patch, and then we make distribution tarballs out of them.

No, we can just pull to whatever revision we need. Maybe not even that. Depends on how good our tool support is. >> We could even extract the tarballs-- AIUI directories are >> acceptable eggs. > > Do you mean "acceptable sourcedists to use to build eggs"? Well, I actually meant they were acceptable eggs-- all the contents of my eggs subdir are directories with names like zope.principalannotation-3.6.0-py2.5.egg, and I assumed we could just reuse directories like that, because it's worked with ez_install for me. Today's experimentation shows buildout is a lot less directory-friendly than I was hoping. > Interesting. > I think I like the idea, but I think I like putting each distinct > project into its own branch more. IMO, that's too slow, because you have to scan each branch to see if it's changed, and mostly they won't have changed. I think a single point of coordination is much easier to cope with.
