It should work with:

[buildout]
..
versions = versions

[versions]
setuptools = dev

*But* it doesn't because of a bug I mentioned a few months ago:

In setuptools's package_index module, the _download_url determines a
filename using the last part of the URL:

'http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/#egg=setuptools-dev
'

becomes

'setuptools'

and it goes to your download folder at:

'..downloads/dist/setuptools'

But this is also the name used by zc.buildout to decompress the package :)

leading to an error, in the next attempt do get setuptools:

IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '.../downloads/dist/setuptools'

In any case, this setuptools behaviour is bad, because if your url is:

'http://svn.example.org/your/package/trunk'

It will end up in a "trunk" folder. And if you have two packages that points
to an url finishing with "trunk"
it will fail.

So, setuptools should use a random, unique, temporary name in this function
imho
to make buildout happy with any kind of dev package.

setuptools has its own tracker here : http://bugs.python.org/setuptools
