Hi, I'm relatively new to buildout, but untill now I could manage to install python packages, supervisord, config files and run system commands by buildout, using the recipes: z3c.recipe.scripts collective.recipe.supervisor collective.recipe.template plone.recipe.command Sometimes I had a timeout error like: "Installing pypackages. While: Installing pypackages. Getting distribution for 'python-dateutil'. An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a recipe being used: Traceback (most recent call last): ..." and "timeout: timed out" but generally worked. Recently I get nearly always this error or an other one: " Getting distribution for 'zc.buildout>=1.7.1,<2dev'. An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a recipe being used: Traceback (most recent call last): ..." and "timeout: timed out" I tried: 1. to run even with: bin/buildout -t 30 2. to put this in buildout.cfg find-links = http://a.pypi.python.org/simple/ http://b.pypi.python.org/simple/ http://c.pypi.python.org/simple/ http://d.pypi.python.org/simple/ http://e.pypi.python.org/simple/ http://f.pypi.python.org/simple/ http://g.pypi.python.org/simple/ 3. I changed z3c.recipe.scripts to zc.recipe.egg Unfortunately the problem is not solved. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Zoli
