Hello Wichert,
Because of our toolchain to release and deploy apps: mypypi and keas.build. In fact, because of keas.build depends on zc.buildout.

zc.buildout is a tough decision, because it's "not upgrading" issue. See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2010-March/015794.html

MG> Marius Gedminas The way you install your app with is: $ install -u https://build.twollo.com/buildouts/ -p Twollo -V QA --latest Where the install script comes with keas.build. At this point nothing exists from your app on the server, not even a .cfg or svn checkout. This invokes "buildout -c https://build.twollo.com/buildouts/Twollo-QA-2.3.4.cfg -t 2...." or something like this. (See http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keas.build/0.1.6 for details) That will gather all necessary packages from (your private) pypi server. And that's why I would need zc.buildout installed globally. It seems to be rather easier to do on a new server: <install setuptools> $ easy_install zc.buildout==<whatever version> $ easy_install keas.build $ install <my favourite app's install parameters> and done I know, doing a checkout and bin/buildout sounds easier, but there's a lot more behind keas.build than just ``install``. The actual problem is that zc.buildout launched by keas.build must be the same version as pinned in the .cfg. A long story... Maybe I just should kick zc.buildout to upgrade itself in the above situation. That would be the best on the long run. -- Best regards, Adam GROSZER mailto:agroszer@gmail.com -- Quote of the day: Keep your fears for yourself, but share your courage with others. - Robert Louis Stevenson
