buildout or not buildout?

Question

I have a problem that when i create an add-on using zopeskel it can't be seen in add-ons on my site. Similar with zopepy - cant import the package. Here is my buildout.cfg:

[buildout] 
extends = 
        http://dist.plone.org/release/4.1/versions.cfg
parts = 
        instance 
        zopeskel 
        zopepy 


eggs-directory=../buildout-cache/eggs 
download-cache=../buildout-cache/downloads 

develop = 
        src/* 

[instance] 
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance 
user = admin:admin 
eggs = Plone 

[zopeskel] 
recipe = zc.recipe.egg 
eggs = 
    ZopeSkel 
    zopeskel.diazotheme 
    zopeskel.dexterity 
    Plone 

[zopepy] 
recipe = zc.recipe.egg 
eggs = Plone 
interpreter = zopepy 
scripts = zopepy 


[versions] 
Cheetah = 2.2.1 
ZopeSkel = 2.21.2 
zopeskel.dexterity = 1.5.2 
zopeskel.diazotheme = 1.1

I'm using plone3_theme template. Make some changes to setup.py. Than i create a directory src and move the package to it.

./bin/buildout 
Develop: '/home/demonoid67/iPlone4/zinstance/src/collective.plonelearning' 
Updating instance. 
Updating zopeskel. 
Updating zopepy. 
./bin/instance fg

Can someone help me? Is this a problem of my buildout.cfg or the configuration of an add-on?

I am not certain that a wildcard in `develop` (`develop = src/*`) works at all. — Martijn Pieters, Aug 03 '13 at 12:24
@MartijnPieters: Changed to `develop = src/collective.plonelearning` - still doesn't work. — dvkellerman, Aug 03 '13 at 12:34
It was a long shot; your log does show that the package is being developed. — Martijn Pieters, Aug 03 '13 at 12:40
You didn't add the egg to the `[instance]` `eggs` entry, I see. — Martijn Pieters, Aug 03 '13 at 12:40
No, you need to add `collective.plonelearning` to your eggs entry. `mr.developer` won't manage that either. — Martijn Pieters, Aug 03 '13 at 12:43

You didn't add the egg to your egg section:

[instance] 
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance 
user = admin:admin 
eggs = 
    Plone 
    collective.plonelearning

Without that entry the instance won't ever see the egg.

One caveat: If you were to upvote a lot of posts by the same user in a short amount of time, Stack Overflow will roll back those votes as part of the automated vote fraud prevention system.

you may also need to add a zcml= for older packages – sureshvv Aug 04 '13 at 15:14
