Thanks. You might also want to "python setup.py register" again to  
update the Cheeseshop page.

Hmmm, I guess. zc.recipe.zope3recipe at least deletes the whole  
instance and recreates it every time you call bin/buildout. That's  
not really an option, of course, when you're using buildout to update  
a production environment, or you need to keep your Data.fs around  
even for development.

I certainly wouldn't want bin/buildout to delete Data.fs in a  
grokproject-created buildout.

Huh? The Cheeseshop page says something else.

Aha. Use case?
