Jim? Anyone? I agree the behaviour we discussed makes sense, but I'm
unclear why it doesn't work as discussed, it isn't documented, and I
haven't found a clear indicator in the source that it should work,
though I clearly could learn a bit more about buildout recipes.

On closer inspection, the zc.recipe.egg documentation doesn't make any mention of this feature, though I think it's a great idea and hats off to the author if it was originally intended to work that way but doesn't, or maybe broke at some point because a contributor didn't understand the feature.
If there's some work to be done, I'm happy to help.
I really want this style of buildout usage to be possible.
Let's work together! Our Foundation's goals line up with Zope extremeley well!
:)
Peace,

Ah, fantastic, I came to an understanding of this last week or so, but some example usage I found led me to believe it wouldn't work.
Perfect! Thanks.
OK, I gave this a shot in a simple case, a buildout you can find here:
http://dev.vongogo.net/bzr/repos/buildouts/getpaid.buildout/
The develop option in getpaid.cfg seems to be ignored entirely, I don't see any messages like "We have a develop egg", and it fails to find a distribution for yoma.batching, which is in the develop list, though it finds others which are available in PyPI.
If I'm working on another false assumption, or parsed something from you or the documentation wrong, please correct. I just want to be able to deploy in this style. :)
Best,
J
