On closer inspection, the zc.recipe.egg documentation doesn't make any mention of this feature, though I think it's a great idea and hats off to the author if it was originally intended to work that way but doesn't, or maybe broke at some point because a contributor didn't understand the feature.
If there's some work to be done, I'm happy to help. I really want this style of buildout usage to be possible. Let's work together! Our Foundation's goals line up with Zope extremeley well! :) Peace, J On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 12:04 PM, Justin Ryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 11:05 AM, Jim Fulton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>> >>> No. buildout doesn't care when develop eggs are created.
