I especially like being able to specify defaults in my ~/.buildout/
default.cfg file. One thing that bugs me though is that I can't use
environment variables like $HOME there.
Seconded: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/190260
Thanks. I've just added a comment on that bug, and have subscribed to
it.
This is a minor pain because
I can't share my .buildout directory between Linux and OS X machines
(say, via version control). It appears as though I have to be
explicit in the path, with /Users/barry on OS X and /home/barry on
Linux.
Similarly, in my buildout.cfg file, if I include a develop field
pointing to some source directories (other than .), I can't use
$HOME/
projects/foo/bar here.
Any thoughts on supporting environment variables in .cfg files? Or
do
they work and I'm just experiencing operator error? ;)
AFAIK, no.
I'm also wondering, does it make sense to put develop-eggs and parts
in say ~/.buildout?
No, since those are specific to a particular project and shouldn't be
shared.
Ok.
(Actually, I don't understand what 'develop-eggs' is for, other than
that removing it tends to fix weird problems after switching from a
develop-egg to a normal egg.)
I kind of dislike having artifacts like these
live in my version controlled source directory (well, there's bin
too,
but I can kind of live with that). What's the best way of doing
that?
echo 'bin parts develop-eggs' > .csvignore
svn propedit svn:ignore .
bzr ignore bin parts develop-eggs
or the equivalent for the VCS of your choice.
Actually, it's not so much 'bzr stat' that I care about since that's
easily ignored. It's 'ls' that I care about since that's tougher to
ignore. I guess I could use dot-prefixes. ;)
Thanks
Barry
