Hi,
A binary package would be of no use for non-root users: they would have to install campsite in their own home directory, which is a custom directory and is different from user to user. The config directory path is compiled in the template engine so you can't change the campsite paths after compiling.
We could try and make a binary package although I don't think this will save us from install problems: most of them appear after compilation and base install, at the virtual host configuration time.

Thanks paul!
so, how about a binary package?
for example, to download the GIMP for any OS
there are choices to download source code or pre-compiled binary packages; I know this could create a long list of download options but I guess it should help a lot of people that dont have root access.
I do have root access but need to upgrade my OS first, because I am still running fedora core 2 in my virtual server ;) and one of the dependencies is not supported.
btw I bet a few major binary packages may cover most distributions because most share similar kernel versions.
