[Plone-docs] developer manual errata

[cpsaltis]

Hi,
I noticed that in Section 1.5 Understanding buildout.cfg of the Developer
Manual found
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/developer-manual/managing-projects-with-buildout/understanding-buildout.cfg
here the file given as an example does not contain PIL. As a consequence
the server will fail to start. In case you work with system PIL the reader
should be clearly informed of this prerequisite. Please check for yourselves
and correct it.
Thanks

Thanks for the notice. I've added the following text:

**
Please note that you will need the Python Imaging Library (PIL) for
Plone to work. This example assumes that you have this library already
installed and available from your Python interpreter, but otherwise you
can installan slimmed down version from the "thirdparty" Plone
repository in your buildout adding its name to the eggs list:

eggs =
PILwoTk

And I added some additional text about adding:

find-links = http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty/PILwoTk-1.1.6.4.tar.gz

to find-links.

But then Israel pointed out that find-links were mentioned above. So, someone
should probably fix that(I don't have time at the moment but will look later,
if noone else gets to it. ;-)

My only point was that it is "better" to specify exactly what you want to
add for two reasons:

1. To avoid "finding links" you don't want (aka "pollution" which leads to conflicts).
2. To demonstrate to folks that it is possible to specify find-links this way.

E.g.

http://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/Products.PloneOrg/trunk/buildout.cfg
