I'm using the immediate predecessor of zc.buildout for zope Zope 2 projects though. Is this internal only? No, we put a version in the sandbox (http://svn.zope.org/Sandbox/zc/buildout/trunk/) a little over a year ago, and I could update that version if you want, but I doubt you will; it is woefully under-documented and not that easy to get into.

[Zope3-Users] zc.buildout with Zope 2
Hi guys, This may not be the right place for this question, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience or examples using zc.buildout with Zope 2. It seems a useful solution and one that will increase in importance, though so far I've not yet fully grasped what it does or how I use it in my brief encounters with it. I'm wondering whether it is something I should pursue further in the context of Plone development (targeting primarily Zope 2.10 for now), but I don't know if it's even relevant to that platform or if this is unchartered territory. Suggestions? Martin ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
