Buildout creation

Now we download the products we are working on from the development development repository on plone.org.
Check out the existing product skeletton from svn:

svn co https://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/buildouts/plone-coredev/branches/3.1-kss-test 3.1-kss-test

Now you can bootstrap the buildout

python bootstrap.py

Where you can use the absolute path of the python installation you want to use.

Now we are able to launch the buildout creation.

./bin/buildout

After the bootstrapping has been completed, the root of your Zope instance should look like this:
