Has anyone thought of using subversion to controlled the installed python tree? (as a separate undertaking to any under development sources). It is more cross platform than rpm or dpkg

I used to do this with project directories (including Zope instance homes) but the fact that distutils (and hence setuptools, easy_install and buildout) like to destructively re-arrange packages on install it's something I'm moving away from. Buildout is currently the "least insane" way of managing python packages... cheers, -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
