What do you mean by:
"develop eggs are also used for many system package installs :("
See: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#install-command
This is the technique that Ubuntu uses to install eggs into the Ubuntu
system Python. The eggs are unpacked into site-packages, so all eggs
use a common source directory rather than each having a separate zip
file or directory. Setuptools marks these as develop eggs. Buildout
can't easily tell these apart from normal develop eggs. I find this to
be very annoying.
I could probably make buildout treat develop eggs with links in the
develop-eggs directory differently.
As you found out, you can simply override the version in your
buildout/
Only for development, it doesn't make sense this duplicated
definition.
Martijn agrees with you. I'm on the fence.
It sound like a additionl seatbelt.
Or sit up.
For what is this
double definition good for? Or is this based on some implementation
details?
It's mainly a matter of explicit is better than implicit, but it comes
down to the meaning of the versions option.
