Hi Jim
Betreff: Re: [Zope-dev] buildout 'versions' and 'develop' conflict

Hi,
It seems that the 'versions' information in a buildout has a priority over 'develop'?
Yup
What I wanted is to use the exact versions of the KGS: extends = http://download.zope.org/zope3.4/versions.cfg versions = versions
Then for a particular egg (say, z3c.menu), use a develop-egg instead: develop = . z3c.menu
However the develop-egg is never used, because of the version information.
Shouldn't the 'develop' directive have a priority?
Martijn Faassen thinks so:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/164043
Despite my response to him, I'm not entirely sure. I'm curious what other people think,
Or is there another way to to what I want?
The develop folder is the folder for development eggs. If versions forces to use other eggs, then it doesn't make sense to me. In general I trust on what you are doing, but I'm not always sure what the real motivation is behind the concept ;-) Probably there is a reason which I don't know about. What do you mean by: "develop eggs are also used for many system package installs :("
As you found out, you can simply override the version in your buildout/
Only for development, it doesn't make sense this duplicated definition. It sound like a additionl seatbelt. For what is this double definition good for? Or is this based on some implementation details? Regards Roger Ineichen
