There is no automated way. But adding a buildout based on one of these

http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/buildout/plonetest/

(any reason to not have these on github?)

I am interested in moving them to github (and leaving the old ones in
place with a note) but IIRC davisagli and I didn't agree on what to
call them. I don't like "plonetest" because that is meaningless AFAICT
(or at least, I don't understand what it means. Buildouts for… testing?)

They are in fact buildouts that were created for the purpose of testing
Plone add-ons. Please just leave the name alone; even if it's not a
particularly verbose name, renaming things tends to cause confusion.


WAT?


Sorry, but you can't effectively argue both sides of an issue [1]. Additionally, I don't care. :-) I'll move them to the GitHub collective as buildout.plonetest ASAP. And I'll assume that when you say "purpose of testing Plone add-ons" you mean: "buildouts that install plone to use during add-on development, to write tests for those add-ons" vs. "buildouts that install plone add-ons". *SHRUG*

[1] IIRC you recently argued on plone-dev that z3c.jbot should be renamed… in that case folks argued against it because z3c.jbot was well known. In this case, not only is "plonetest" not well known, I still don't know what it is, definitively :-). I assume it's something like: https://github.com/pythonpackages/buildout-plone. Further, it's not a Python package so IMHO it's not subject to the same set of criteria we'd use to evaluate the naming convention. -- What I am really pushing for, that perhaps I should have been more clear about, is: we currently have a nice "buildout.python" repo for building all versions of Python. And it would be nice if we could have a "buildout.plone" repo to do build all versions of Plone, too. So, if it's true that "plonetest" is intended to be used as "buildouts for plone" (not just "testing add-ons") then it really should be called "buildout.plone" IMHO. Or, if it really is just for "testing add-ons" then maybe it shouldn't be renamed. Again, *SHRUG*
