Hi there,

This is actually not a problem, because the path in bin/buildout is
rewritten when running bootstrap.py and the other paths of scripts in
bin/ are then rewritten when running bin/buildout. grokproject itself,
BTW, creates no hardcoded paths in bin/. They are all generated.

That's one of the reasons we use buildout/setuptools :-)

There might, however, remain some hardcoded paths in the configuration
files, which depends indeed on the grokproject version you used when
creating the project (and your manual modifications done afterwards to
the setup).

In next grokproject release we try to avoid hardcoded paths as good as
possible, also in the config files.

Best regards,
