and why does buildout pick it over a stable release? Because buildout, like easy_install, will pick the newest available version for a distribution. Fortunately, buildout has a prefer-stable option so that you can tell it to prefer stable over alpha/beta/dev releases. Also, in any serious situtation you'd want to pin your versions, e.g. using the KGS [2] or a manual list.
Okay, so how come zopeproject doesn't do any of these?
I don't even know how to use the KGS - where would I find docs on that?
The Grok project actually make this stuff (pinning down versions, etc) easy. If you want this to work out of the box, Zope 3 isn't the best way to go. You install grokproject and it ought to just work. If not, let us know. Regards, Martijn
