Installation flow

Hi,

I'm trying to install z3ext, but kept on failing with package version dependency hell (related to zope.location, zope.site, zope.lifecycleevent - and other packages that depends on them )

if i understood correctly, the process should be:

install z3extproject
use z3extproject to create a buildout
run buildout
start instance

am I'm doing it right ? .. or did i missed something?

​additional info

i'm using python2.4 on a linux system. z3extproject was installed into a buildout ..

thanks

versions.cfg needs a few updates. Versions of packages that are not locked down in z3ext versions.cfg and get updates in pypi will lead to some dependencies mess. Do the following changes and see if it works out for you:

If with the suggestions above you can pass buildout ok but get a failure on missing zope.app.securitypolicy when running ./bin/zopectl then you also need to add zope.app.securitypolicy to setup.py and run buildout again.

that worked .. thanks :)

/me goes digging around

It doesn't work anymore :(

Sorry, my bad, it worked, somehow. I think it was releated to setuptools-0.6c9. If you still get the above error, or the following one:
