Hello,

I understand what is the meaning of the develop clause and that I
should end up with the mymodule.egg-link in the develop-eggs directory

Problem is only that I don't manage to install this egg.
In the buildout.cfg, I tried to install it but nothing happen (no error
message, nothing).

I was expecting that:
1) the buildout.cfg I gave would trigger the installation of
this egg
2) After installation of this egg, I would have mymodule.egg-link in
the site-packages directory.

But it seems that it's not at all the expected behavior ?

Regards,
