--eJnRUKwClWJh1Khz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'd like to request that --always-unzip (-Z) be added to the default PYEASYINSTALL_INSTALLARGS. The reason for this request is that compressed eggs cause all sorts of problems for unattended operation or operation via sudo. For example, trac uses textproc/py-genshi which is installed compressed. Unfortunately, that means you have to create a PYTHON_EGG_CACHE directory with appropriate permissions and put it in the Apache environment if you want it to work. If you further run trac-admin as www via sudo, you end up needing to mangle the environment there as well. I recognize that this change would be a major undertaking since it would break the plist of any port that currently installed a compressed egg, but I think it would greatly improve the usability of modules installed =66rom ports and thus should be given serious consideration.
