2012-02-24 09:44:31 Wichert Akkerman description This morning zc.buildout gave me this error: Processing s4u.site-4.0.tar.gz error: None An error occurred when trying to install s4u.site 4.0. Look above this message for any errors that were output by easy_install. While: Installing tools. Getting distribution for 's4u.site==4.0'. Error: Couldn't install: s4u.site 4.0 There was no hint anywhere what the error was. It took me ages to try to manually reproduce what buildout is doing to figure out the root cause: the .tar.gz it downloaded was broken. It would be extremely helpful if buildout could provide an information error message. "error: None" is not particularly helpful.
