[PyOpenGL-Devel] Notice of change, splitting out the Demo directory

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@vr...>]

The demo directories added about .6MB to the size of the PyOpenGL .egg. 
The Demos, while very useful, are not really necessary for packages that 
depend on PyOpenGL.  They are also the reason that we can't mark 
PyOpenGL "zip-safe" (since the demos are not written to use 
pkg_resources for their images and the like).

I'm planning on splitting them into a separate distribution (.egg) that 
will depend upon the PyOpenGL distribution.  This will mean that if you 
want the demos you would do:

    easy_install PyOpenGL-Demos

and it would pull in the PyOpenGL .egg along the way.  Or if you just 
want the PyOpenGL core, you'd just do the regular:

    easy_install PyOpenGL

I'm planning to do this for the 3.0.0a6 release (hopefully packaged up 
in the next couple of hours).

Just a heads-up,
Mike
