Products.GenericSetup 1.7.7

Read Zope configuration state from profile dirs / tarballs

Products.GenericSetup

This product provides a mini-framework for expressing the configured state of a Zope Site as a set of filesystem artifacts. These artifacts consist of declarative XML files, which spell out the configuration settings for each “tool” in the site , and supporting scripts / templates, in their “canonical” filesystem representations.

See docs/index.rst for full documentation. This documentation can also be found online: http://packages.python.org/Products.GenericSetup/

Changelog

1.7.7 (2015-08-11)

• Fix: when the last applied upgrade step had a checker, the profile version was not updated. Now we no longer look at the checker of the last applied step when deciding whether to set the profile version. The checker, if any is set, normally returns True before running the step (it can be applied), and False afterwards (it was already applied).

• Add upgradeProfile method to setup tool. This method applies all upgrades steps for the given profile, or updates it to the optional given version. If the profile does not exist, or if there is no upgrade step to go to the specified version, the method warns and does nothing.

• Check the boolean value of the remove option when importing objects. Previously we only checked if the remove option was given, regardless of its value. Supported are True, Yes, and 1, where case does not matter. The syntax for removing objects, properties, and elements is now the same.

• Support remove="True" for properties.

1.7.6 (2015-07-15)

• Enable testing under Travis.

• Fix compatibility with Setuptools 8.0 and later. Upgrade steps could get sorted in the wrong order, especially an empty version string (upgrade step from any source version) sorted last instead of first.

1.7.5 (2014-10-23)

• Allow skipping certain steps on runAllImportStepsFromProfile.

1.7.4 (2013-06-12)

• On import, avoid clearing indexes whose state is unchanged.

1.7.3 (2012-10-16)

• Sort profiles on Upgrade form.

• Use clickable labels with checkboxes on import, export and upgrade forms to improve usability.

1.7.2 (2012-07-23)

• Avoid using manage_FTPGet on snapshot exports: that method messes up the response headers.

• ZopePageTemplate handler: Fix export encoding: since 1.7.0, exports must be UTF-8 strings

1.7.1 (2012-02-28)

• Restore the ability to make the setup tool use only import / export steps explicitly called out by the current profile, ignoring any which might be globally registered. This is particularly useful for configuring sites with baseline profiles, where arbitrary add-on steps are not only useless, but potentially damaging.

1.7.0 (2012-01-27)

• While importing toolset.xml, print a warning when the class of a required tool is not found and continue with the next tool. The previous behaviour could break the install or uninstall of any add-on, as the missing class may easily be from a different unrelated add-on that is no longer available in the zope instance.

• Exporters now explicitly only understand strings. The provided registry handlers encode and decode data automatically to and from UTF-8. Their default encoding changed from None to UTF-8. If you have custom registry handlers, ensure that you encode your unicode. Check especially if you use a page template to generate xml. They return unicode and their output must also encoded. If you choose to encode your strings with UTF-8, you can be sure that your code will also work with GenericSetup < 1.7
