I propose that buildout-versions get incorporated into
buildout in the following way:
OK, proposal 1 wasn't accepted. Here's another stab:
Proposal 2
----------
1. The ``allow-picked-versions`` option gets a new allowed value of
``show``. if there are unpicked versions and this option is set to
``show``, then picked/unpinned versions are reported in a way
suitable for copying into a versions section, presumably with the
same format used by buildout-versions today.
So the possible values becomes: true, false, show (which is true & verbose)
2. New buildout option: ``update-versions-file``. This takes a path
(relative to buildout directory) of a file to update with any
unpinned versions (in a manner roughly the same as
buildout-versions does today).
3. New buildout option: ``python-version`` that restricts the Python
version, with the same semantics as buildout-version provides now.
4. Change: develop eggs found in the buildout's develop-eggs directory
will be used even if their version conflicts with a pinned version.
Did somebody ask for this? I tend to think of develop eggs as "real"
eggs. So if I want to resolve a conflict I'll just edit the develop-egg
(presumably by changing the version of the develop egg in the case of a
non-develop-egg that requires a particular version of a develop egg.)
5. In buildout 2, The default value of the versions option will be
"versions", rather than being unset. This will allow users to
omit::
version = versions
from their buildout section.
\o/
6. To make it a little easier to supply buildout versions on the
command line, make buildout the default section for command-line
options, so::
update-versions-file=versions.cfg
or::
allow-picked-versions=show
would be allowed. (They are rejected now.)
So that means I can pass in foo=bar and it will be applied to the
buildout section? How about allowing parameter/values to be applied to
any section and defaulting to buildout? E.g.:
$ buildout buildout:update-versions-file=versions.cfg
Is this same as:
$ buildout update-versions-file=versions.cfg
But I can also do:
$ buildout foo:bar=baz
To set parameter 'bar' with value 'baz' in section 'foo'. In any event,
proposal 2 sounds "close enough" to me so: +1.
Thoughts?
Jim
