Build Trix for production deployment

Follow the devilry deploy guide. When you have Devilry running successfully, follow the steps below.

Add the following to your buildout.cfg:

[buildout]
...
eggs +=
    trix
    trix_simplified
    trix_restful
    trix_extjshelpers

[devilrydeploy_sources]
trix = git https://github.com/devilry/trix.git
trix_simplified = git https://github.com/devilry/trix_simplified.git
trix_restful = git https://github.com/devilry/trix_restful.git
trix_extjshelpers = git https://github.com/devilry/trix_extjshelpers.git
