Tres has earlier proposed a meta egg to represent "versions.cfg" in a setuptools only (non buildout) environment.
A meta egg is an egg that only list dependencies and does not contain code of its own.
Indeed, so we'd need 2 eggs for Zope 2 :-( Something I bumped into recently: If the Zope 2 egg actually hard-specifies its dependencies, how do I upgrade any of those dependencies to newer versions that fix bugs i may have encountered/fixed? With buildout-only, it's easy, just override the versions in the versions section of the topmost buildout.cfg. How would this be done if the Zope 2 egg or meta-egg hard-specifies the versions?
