That's very strange. I've created a virtualenv environment and, when I  
put 'zc.datetimewidget' as a requirement, buildout downloads  
zc.datetimewidget version 0.6.1dev-r72453. I cannot find it on PyPI.  
Why it's been downloaded? It's not even on svn.zope.org - the latest  
version there is 0.6.0dev.

I assume you're asking for zc.datetimewidget version - I was using  
0.6.1dev-r72453.

Actually it's a zc.datetimewidget 0.5.2 problem :-). Version 0.5.2  
overrides.zcml is different from version 0.6.1dev and it conflicts  
with zope.app.form-3.4.0b2's configure.zcml. I've fixed it in  
megrok.form by not calling zc.datetimewidget.overrides.zcml and by  
configuring those things in megrok.form.overrides.zcml.

I think this should be fixed on zc.datetimewidget, but I think I don't  
have the privileges to upload a new egg.

Yes, you're right. I made new releases of megrok.form and  
collective.namedblobfile supplying versions for every dependency.  
Sorry about this.
