This is a bit counter to how you want to store in a version control system: "derived" files should be made, not stored. One of the reasons that cloning the revision was so long was that these huge, binary files were versioned. This is one of the reasons that a distribution had a compressed tar file (not called *.w2p files) - so that they would be smaller. The only problem, for checkout, e.g. "clone", "pull", "update", "merge" operations this results in an unusually long activity (especially for clone, where the changesets - which in the case of binary files will just be the entire, long list of *.w2p versions). For web2py to behave by trying to find *w2p file reflects the concept that "smaller" distribution files are what is distributed. Recent discussions that people might modify their welcome apps is reason to consider if the change in web2py should be to 'make', or build a distribution-like installation (that is, if there is no *.w2p file, then make them). This makes senes for welcome app, perhaps lest for admin, and is really most questionably as to utility for examples. One thing that is clear: it is not desirable (for several reasons, in general) to version derived files. This discussion should probably center on: is it worthwhile to distribute / build *.w2p files in any of these cases anymore.
