batou 0.2

A utility for automating multi-host, multi-environment software builds and deployments.

Deployments are described in a model using “components” and can be deployed locally and remotely. Models are written as Python code.

See the batou documentation for details on how to use it.

Changelog

0.2 (2013-04-18)

• Lots of stuff that went on unreleased for way too long. Producing a release to allow people to stop running from trunk.

• Buildout component: Allow custom buildout.cfg names and pass the name to bootstrap.

• Improve SSH connection error logging: more readable now and hosts are identifiable. (#12093)

• Do not automatically add missing SSH host keys any longer. (#11606)

• Use python version specific virtualenv, if availble. This helps with ancient Python 2.4 components. For specific virtualenv versions no explicit python executable is passed.

• Internalize download hash handling using hashlib. Allow selection of hash function. (Thanks to Christine Koppelt.)

• Introduce new component modelling approach.

• Start writing documentation.

• Improve error message when download fails due to checksum mismatch.
