Buildout used:

[buildout]
parts = zopeskel
sources = sources
extensions = mr.developer
auto-checkout = ZopeSkel

[zopeskel]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg:scripts

eggs = PasteDeploy
       PasteScript
       ZopeSkel

scripts = zopeskel
          paster

[sources]
ZopeSkel = svn https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/ZopeSkel/trunk/

I see the same thing, but I'm wondering what should be done about this. I mean, we don't really want to be creating .egg-info directories for buildouts, do we? They aren't eggs as such. Perhaps this is a problem of over-specificity in the pastescript bit that is expecting an egg-info directory to be found in a buildout?

according to claytron: 'It is definitely paster assuming that the template will be an egg and not a buildout when checking the code in.' This jibes with what I've seen. Claytron also suggests: 'In my custom code, I just set the svn:ignore property for stuff like that in the "post" method.' I'm going to do that for this particular case and see if it helps.

Crud.

Never mind. This particular problem cannot be solved in ZopeSkel. The issue is quite clearly in Paster, which assumes that everything it builds is an egg and will have an egg-info directory. Even setting svn-ignore will not solve this problem and so the only choice I think we have is to swallow the --svn-repository variable in all buildout templates.

Not supporting --svn-repository seems like a sensible solution to me. A workaround is to run ZopeSkel on a working copy.
example:
cd src
svn co <repos> my.package
ZopeSkel create -t <type> my.package

Target release: None → 2.16

fixed in v2.16 by removing the possibility from users of the bin/zopeskel command. paster/create will still accept this argument, and it will still be problematic for buildout templates, as they shouldn't have egg-info, but I can't do anything about that without altering pastescript.

No responses can be added.
