I'm only on day two or three of our great modernization and buildout experiment. Today I decided to set up my user defaults and try out the download cache.

The documentation says:

If the file $HOME/.buildout/defaults.cfg, exists, it is read before reading the configuration file

So I went ahead and made a "defaults.cfg" in my $HOME/.buildout directory. But it didn't seem to do anything.

The problem is that this first mention of the user-defaults config file uses the plural "defaults.cfg". The system itself expects the singular "default.cfg", and the test/example code immediately following the above line uses the singular 'default.cfg'.

Thanks. BTW, you should use launchpad for reporting buildout bugs: https://launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+filebug Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
