hmmm, how can one determine if something is released or not? in the past it was very easy: just go to http://www.infrae.com/download and download the tar-ball, if something is not available it's not released. but with buildout?

how did you figure out those version numbers? is there a database where we can look this up?
for the installation of silva.pas.openid i just followed the README.txt and expected it to just work. isn't buildout meant to take care of all these dependencies for us and make our life easier? i probably have too high expectations for buildout;-)

i was annoyed that my settings in zope.conf did not survive a new buildout leading to a non-working zope instance. in the meantime i have figured out that i can use buildout.cfg for this as well and i have updated the documentation with this info.
