Fake Zope 2 Eggs ================ Zope 2 isn't eggified yet, Zope 3 does. That can become a problem if you want to install some egg with depedencies related to Zope 3 eggs (such as zope.interface, zope.component, ...) This buildout recipe will simply add some fake egg link to zope libraries (installed inside zope/lib/python/zope/...) so that setuptools can see that the dependencies are already satisfied and it won't fetch them anymore. Just add it to your buildout config like this:: [buildout] parts = ... your other parts ... fakezope2eggs [fakezope2eggs] recipe = affinitic.recipe.fakezope2eggs Be careful to run this recipe after the plone.recipe.zope2install recipe. You might also want to add other fake eggs to your buildout, to do so use the additional-fake-eggs option, for example:: [buildout] parts = ... your other parts ... fakezope2eggs [fakezope2eggs] recipe = affinitic.recipe.fakezope2eggs additional-fake-eggs = ZODB3
