gp.vcsdevelop 2.2.3

Basic usage

Use this package as a zc.buildout extension and provide some vcs urls in the vcs-extend-develop option:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... vcs-extend-develop=hg+https://gawel@bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/@tip#egg=pip
... parts=
... ''')

Then if you run buildout, the package will be checkout from the repository:

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout)
Start...
Cloning hg https://gawel@bitbucket.org/ianb/pip/ (to revision tip) to ./pip
Found command 'hg' at '...'
Develop: '/...buildout/pip'
...

Packages can be found in the develop-dir (default to .). You can override this:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... develop-dir=./src
... vcs-extend-develop=git+https://github.com/pypa/pip.git/@1.1#egg=pip
... parts=
... ''')

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout)
Start...
Cloning https://github.com/pypa/pip.git/ (to 1.1) to ./src/pip
Found command 'git' at '...'
...
Develop: '/...buildout/./src/pip'
...

Non-python packages

You can also checkout non-python packages but you’ll get a warning:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... develop-dir=./src
... vcs-extend-develop=git+git://github.com/benoitc/couchbeam.git#egg=couchbeam
... parts=
... ''')

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout).strip()
Start...
Cloning git://github.com/benoitc/couchbeam.git to ./src/couchbeam
Found command 'git' at '...'
Warning: ./src/couchbeam is not a python package

Git submodules

gp.vcsdevelop is aware of Git’s submodules at the first level:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... develop-dir=./src
... vcs-extend-develop=git+git://github.com/bearstech/PloneTerminal.git#egg=PloneTerminal
... parts=
... ''')

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout).strip()
Start...
Cloning git://github.com/bearstech/PloneTerminal.git to ./src/PloneTerminal
Found command 'git' at '...'

<BLANKLINE>

pip requirements file

gp.vcsdevelop can take care of your requirements file. All packages names contained by the requirements file can be found in a var named ${buildout:requirements-eggs}:

>>> write('buildout.cfg','''
... [buildout]
... extensions=gp.vcsdevelop
... develop-dir=./requirements
... requirements = requirements.txt
... parts= eggs
...
... [eggs]
... recipe = zc.recipe.egg
... eggs = ${buildout:requirements-eggs}
... interpreter = python
... ''')

>>> write('requirements.txt', '''
... ConfigObject>=1.0
... -e git+git://github.com/bearstech/PloneTerminal.git#egg=PloneTerminal
... ''')

>>> print 'Start', system(buildout).strip()
Start...
Cloning git://github.com/bearstech/PloneTerminal.git to ./requirements/PloneTerminal
Found command 'git' at '...'
...
Develop: '/...buildout/./requirements/PloneTerminal'
...
Generated interpreter '/...buildout/bin/python'.

>>> print 'File', cat('bin', 'python')

sys.path[0:0] = [
    '.../ConfigObject-....egg',
    '/...buildout/requirements/PloneTerminal',
...
