Re: [Distutils] buildout: overriding the global [versions] section

Hi,

It seems I cannot override, for a single buildout part, the version information of the global [versions] section.

Is this possible and I just overlooked something?

If not, I intend to add support for that on zc.recipe.egg and/or z3c.recipe.scripts recipes.

Any comments?

Any comments, for or against?

Overall you raise a good point.

Rather than having part-specific versions, I'd rather just let explicit versions specified in in parts (e.g. in eggs options) override versions specifications.

Also, there's value in having one place to see see versions used so I it's possible some folks would object to this change.
