I use something like this when developing egg-based packages:

[nonzero]
recipe = z3c.recipe.egg:editable
find-links =

https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/plonetheme.nonzero/trunk#egg=plonetheme.nonzero-dev
eggs =
    plonetheme.nonzero
build-directory = src
develop = true

Only problem is, it doesn't update automatically when issuing the
bin/buildout command. I have to manually go into the packages directory
(in src) and issue svn update - unsure if there's a better way to do
this automagically?

HTH,
Tim
