Error when exporting distribution

[petschki]

I'm not sure whats going wrong here, but when using the bin/export-distribution script on a development package here (buildout setup on MacOS) I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/peterm/workspace/cipra/bin/export-distribution", line 288, in <module>
    sys.exit(plone.distribution.cli.export())

What I did:

1. create new Plone site using our customer distribution (based on Classic UI)
2. create some example content
3. run the script

Versions:

Plone: 6.1.0b2
Python: 3.13.1

Aha ... turns out that you have to create the subfolder content manually inside your distributions/<name>folder before exporting ... wasn't obvious to me with this traceback ...

@petschki Sounds like a legitimate bug, the script should either create the folder automatically or give a better error message.
