Ynon,
Yeah, the skeleton builder is showing its age a bit. I personally never use
it, but I see the need for something like this.
I've come to the conclusion that 'one starter to rule them all' isn't going to
be very forward looking no matter what it looks like. I was pondering
something were people could easily make templates and skel on say github and
people could point some sort of cmd line tool at it and just use their favorite
authors way of doing it. That way people could fork their favorite and tweak
it a bit. We could even have a repo on github with a list of all the know
templates that the commandline tools would read and make it straight up to
generate a new project.
On the other hand... maybe its silly to reinvent the wheel here. Isn't this
just what Chef and Puppet do? Maybe we should just use that instead? I
personally have no issue using Python or Ruby for something as simple as a
project builder, and it would solve some issues. We'd even be able to make
chef scripts to do stuff like set up common tables and all that (how many
user/role tables have you made).
Of course Puppet/Chef might seem like terrible overkill as well. Again, It
would be nice to have a way for people to be able to easily create basic
project templates and a little more, like setup mysql, etc.
Thoughts?
