Is there a reason to not just make this the default configuration?

I created a new, no-site-packages virtualenv and new grokproject, changed the zope.conf.in to use the BLOB storage configuration, and it runs with no problems and the tests all pass.

You do get an extra line when you start the project. (Maybe this could be suppressed by specifying the layout.):

INFO [ZODB.blob] (26577) Blob directory `= /opt/grok/atest/blobtest/parts/data/Data.fs/blobs` has layout marker set. Selected `bushy` layout.

I'm not saying that this is the way to go - I'm just curious what the down-side would be to having it able to "just work" when you add the necessary packages to setup.py and rerun buildout.

It is unfortunate that the BLOB storage configuration is entangled with the ZODB file storage configuration in the first place.

It might actually be nicer if all the database and storage related configuration occurred in the paster templates as it is likely that one would have different paths for development and deployment anyway.

That being said, I am OK with the solution as it stands right now.

I will try grokproject and buildout from the trunk code later today. I did my tests with 1.0a4 and did have some problems with the changes made in changeset 9926 (the double $$ in front of variables). Buildout passed
one of the $'s into the output files, so the paths were broken like:

path $/opt/grok/atest/blobtest/parts/data/Data.fs

Maybe this is fixed somewhere else in the trunk.
