I agree. This "README.txt" isn't really a good primer on zc.buildout
anymore. Well, honestly, it never was. It should just be renamed so we
can stop pretending it was a test.
...and maybe not have it show up as pypi's readme for buildout?
- a list/reference of the options passable when running buildout
(I think this appears about 30% of the way through that doc, but I'm
not sure all the options are covered)
- a list/reference of the "commands" buildout has. I counted "install"
and "init" and maybe "bootstrap" too, but I don't know if that's all
and I'm still hazy about what the differences are between each one.
bin/buildout --help ???
Oooh... yeah, this does solve the above two.
- a list/reference of the options names that have meaning in the
[buildout] section to buildout itself. There seem to be a *lot* of
these and they're scattered throughout the document at that URL. I
have a horrible sinking feeling that I'm going to spend most of my
life with buildout trying to find the right option name to use :-/
Nothing on this one though :-S
Oh, and a parting shot: it would be great to get some idea of the
"known good" recipe types to use too. I see the plone guys have
vomited several million recipe eggs into pypi and, to be blunt, it's
impossible to figure out which were written by muppets and which by
people with functioning brains.
You're several orders of magnitude off :). PyPI counts 99 recipes
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&show=all&c=512) and there
aren't that many that provide the same kind of functionality.
Yeah, like ccmi ;-)
So why not
jus try out a recipe when you need its functionality. If any of these
were indeed written by "muppets", you'd find out pretty quickly, no?
Yes, after they've trashed your whole system, etc...
Someone mentioned a cmmi recipe at EPC. That sounded interesting but
now I don't know where to find it...
http://www.google.com/search?q=buildout+cmmi+recipe
pypi.python.org/pypi/hexagonit.recipe.cmmi/
pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.cmmi/
Which to go for?
cheers,
Chris
