Is it possible to use collective.alias in a 3.1.7

Question

Is it possible? I would like to install it in a 3.1.7 Plone instance, but don't want to enter the buildout incompatible versions hell.

I tried in my machine, adding along with collective.alias

extends =
    http://good-py.appspot.com/release/dexterity/1.0a2

and

[versions]
plone.recipe.plone = 3.1.7 
plone.recipe.zope2instance = 3.6

But starts downloading a lot of stuff, until it downloaded Plone 4 egg itself as a dependency.

I couldn't find a source of really pinned versions for 3.17 that would make possible to install collective.alias, that's why I'm asking this question, I would like to know if anyone at SO had a similar problem.

Answer 1

collective.alias depends on dexterity. Dexterity is not fully supported on plone3. And I guess you will need to upgrade to 3.3.

Dexterity needs Plone4.1 to play well with archetypes content and have all plone feature (history, diff, lock, ...)

try this:
