Is there a way to create a dummy part/recipe that depends on another part without having to refer to one of the options of other part? Similar to make's concept of a phony target I suppose.
I'm looking to make a buildout script that looks something like this: [buildout] parts = all [all] recipe=depends parts = linux win32 mac [linux] recipe=depends parts=common-part linux-specific-part [win32] recipe=depends parts=common-part win32-specific-part-1 win32-specific-part-2 [mac] recipe=depends parts=common-part mac-specific-part ... real part specifications would follow ... So as you can see, I'm trying to make a buildout script that will build three different variations of the same project for the three major platforms Windows, Mac and Linux from the same build machine. Depending on the platform I'm building for I may build parts in my buildout file. Ideally from the command line I'd like to do something like this. $ buildout install linux or $ buildout install mac or $ buildout install win32 or $ buildout install all Is this possible to do in recipe or is there some other mechanism I could use to do this dependency? The refering to a variable of another part sort of works for this, but I think it would be easier to read (and less typing) if I could epxlicitly declare that a given part depends on another. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
