mr.developer 0.9

UNKNOWN

Introduction

mr.developer is a zc.buildout extension which makes it easier to work with buildouts containing lots of packages of which you only want to develop some. The basic idea for this comes from Wichert Akkerman’s plonenext effort.

Usage

You add mr.developer to the extensions option of your [buildout] section. Then you can add the following options to your [buildout] section:

sources-dir

This specifies where your development packages should be placed. Defaults to src.

sources-svn

This specifies a section which lists the subversion repository URLs of your packages.

sources-git

This specifies a section which lists the git repository URLs of your packages.

auto-checkout

This specifies the names of packages which should be checked out during buildout, packages already checked out are skipped.

The following is an example of how your buildout.cfg may look like:

[buildout]
...
extensions = mr.developer
sources-svn = sources-svn
sources-git = sources-git
auto-checkout = my.package

[sources-svn]
my.package = http://example.com/svn/my.package/trunk

[sources-git]
some.other.package = git://example.com/git/some.other.package.git

When you run buildout, you will get a script at bin/develop in your buildout directory. With that script you can perform various actions on the packages, like checking out the source code, without the need to know where the repository is located.

For help on what the script can do, run bin/develop help.

If you checked out the source code of a package, you need run buildout again. The package will automatically be marked as an develop egg and, if it’s listed in the section specified by the versions option in the [buildout] section, the version will be cleared, so the develop egg will actually be used.

Changelog
