Fake Zope 2 Eggs
================

Zope 2 isn't eggified yet, Zope 3 does. That can become a problem if you want to
install some egg with depedencies related to Zope 3 eggs (such as zope.interface,
zope.component, ...)

This buildout recipe will simply add some fake egg link to zope libraries (installed
inside zope/lib/python/zope/...) so that setuptools can see that the dependencies are
already satisfied and it won't fetch them anymore.

Just add it to your buildout config like this::

    [buildout]

    parts =
        ... your other parts ...
        fakezope2eggs

    [fakezope2eggs]
    recipe = affinitic.recipe.fakezope2eggs

Be careful to run this recipe after the plone.recipe.zope2install recipe.

You might also want to add other fake eggs to your buildout, to do so use the
additional-fake-eggs option, for example::


    [buildout]

    parts =
        ... your other parts ...
        fakezope2eggs

    [fakezope2eggs]
    recipe = affinitic.recipe.fakezope2eggs
    additional-fake-eggs = ZODB3
