First of all thanx for answering so quickly. While I can agree with that but
would like to see in subversion at some point of time. Believe me when I
say there is a world of difference.

Aha, I didn't know that, also I'm no package builder but an end-user who just
wants to play the games which are made on pyopengl something like
http://pyweek.org/4/entries/

and still for end-users either on windows as well as GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) haven't
found a simple way to install. Would be looking forward though to see
3.0 in beta
& then final phase. Maybe in the documentation somewhere maybe you or some
of the users can give idea from where end-users like me can have pre-compiled
binaries.
