Amen. Let's not coddle folks who blindly install without checking, to
the detriment of those who pay attention and will help find and fix bugs.
Those who need the coddling should be paying somebody for the service.
I agree on principle something like the zc.buildout 2.0 alpha should go
to PyPI so folks can start using, testing, giving feedback, etc. But I
don't agree in practice it is the right thing to do when we know it is
going to negatively affect a large number of users[1].
Whom is it actually breaking? People who do "easy_install zc.buildout"?
For people who aren't trying to install it for the first time and whom
already have it, isn't this what:
[versions]
zc.buildout = 1.5.2
is for?
Well, it broke for me:

And cullerton:
19:43 < cullerton> Folks, there's something wonky going on with
buildout this morning. When I run bootstrap, it creates a buildout
script using buildout 2.0.
0a4. This fails with an error (TypeError: get_dist() takes exactly 4
arguments (3 given)). Changing the version to buildout 1.4.4 seems to
fix things.
19:43 <@aclark> cullerton: 2.0.0a4 is out
19:43 <@aclark> cullerton: use 1.6.3
19:43 < cullerton> is there a way to pin that when running bootstrap?
19:43 <@aclark> cullerton: (I've already asked jim if we can hide 2.0.0a4)
19:45 < cullerton> aclark: thanks
But yeah, in theory I guess that is what pinning the version in
buildout.cfg is for. Actually, pinning versions in Buildout is much
more straightfoward IMHO when you aren't pinning Buildout itself (at
which point you may encounter the somewhat awkward self-re-bootstrap).
Jim may have better thoughts on how this is supposed to work at a high
level.
