[Zope-dev] [zopeproject] ZODB3 specified, but ZODB3 3.9.0-dev-r77011 egg still attempted?!

[Chris Withers]

Okay,

So I bumped into the ZODB3 3.9.0-dev-r77011 problem while trying to get 
going with zopeproject.

zopeproject created a buildout.cfg in my test project, so I thought I'd 
lock ZODB to 3.8.0 to prevent problems:

[buildout]
develop = .
parts = app test
find-links = http://download.zope.org/distribution/
newest = false
eggs-directory = C:\Zope\buildout-eggs

[app]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
eggs = HelloWorld
        zope.app.apidoc
        zope.app.securitypolicy
        z3c.evalexception>=2.0
        Paste
        PasteScript
        PasteDeploy
interpreter = python

[versions]
ZODB3 = 3.8.0

[test]
recipe = zc.recipe.testrunner
eggs = HelloWorld
defaults = ['--tests-pattern', '^f?tests$', '-v']

This didn't work, buildout still tries to install 3.9.0-dev-r77011. Why?!

I also noticed that buildout from this .cfg doesn't seem to use the 
latest versions of things. It's only using version 1.0.7 of zc.buildout, 
not the 1.1.0 I'd expect. Now, my understanding is that find-links adds 
to the index rather than replaces it, so what's going on here?

cheers,

Chris
