Buildout is it possible to override dependencies for an application containing its own dependencies?

Question

Is it possible to override dependencies in buildout for an egg? I need to add some newer libraries to some eggs which contain requirements for older packages.

Answer 1

You can edit the buildout.cfg and add a version section with all the dependencies you need :

[buildout]
...
versions = versions

[versions]
south = 0.7.3

You can also Look at the following documentations for more :
